I second LM. The vcds lite works fine with ebay cables, and if you can find it the Older vag com version 409.1, it works with ebay cales too. Any greater version of the VAG software (not vcds) wont work. Most ebay cables come with the drivers AND the 409.1 shareware

I can tell you from experience,that is comes down to software,i had 3 versions of vag-com software installed and only 1 version worked with my 3rd party vag-com cable i purchased from china off ebay.
So there is nothing wrong with the cable itself, the software has to be compatible with said vag-com cable.
I agree with what was said about some that only need a vag-com cable/software for simple tasks,not like a shop would. Not everyone can afford a 300.00 cable,along with 99.00 dollar software for a total of 400.00 and that's not even counting the cost of the actual repair that you need to have done,once your vag-com cable diagnoses your DTC!
I say,save that 400.00 for repairs and buy a 10.00 3rd party vag-com cable off ebay and the free software,we are all effected buy a recession these days.
Have some compassion and not be so quick to juge and request someone to be banned from audiforums,you don't know why this person can't afford to buy a ross-tech cable and the 99.00 legit software.
Just because you have a job and can afford it,does'nt mean everyone esle does have a job and can afford it.
original poster,did you get squared away with software yet?

...and your correct I can't afford the rosstech cable and licensed software. theres just a few codes that i want to clear and try and diagnose and diy a few complex problems with my audi.
dont know why some users on this forum took my financial circumstances with insult...but hey...nobody likes poor people right?.
