Can someone show me what cable I need to buy and what version to download? I found a ton of cables on ebay but I'm not sure which one I need and which software to d/l from the ross-tech site. Thanks.

Why not just pony up for the real thing?
It's well worth the money.

because i don't care to log stuff at this time. Just want to be able to view trouble codes if I ever get one, and recode the trans. That's it. Not worth $350 to me to be able to do those two things. As a diagnostic and datalogging tool it's a good deal, but I just want to read codes for the most part and I could go buy an OBD II code reader for less.

ok so what besides, read/clear codes, recode the trans, and door locks/windows, can it do that makes it worth a few hundred bucks?
