Your laptop should be OK if the XP on it is reasonably clean. 500 MHz is the minimum for USB interfaces, 1GHz is recommended. If your XP has accumulated a lot of cobwebs, you might want to consider backing up your data and doing a fresh, clean XP installation.

Yes, a KEY-USB is fine for the B5 S4.

Yes, that is all you need to buy to get a full, current version of VAG-COM up and running for your car.

Taxes: I'm sure you'll have to pay VAT. (There's no VAT here in the USA). Your government may hit you for other taxes as well, but I really don't know. Taxes due upon import will be collected from you by the courier company (who will already have paid them to get the package through customs).

If you want an all-inclusive price, check our UK resellers:

Gendan seems to be a popular choice for individual enthusiasts.

You will be fine. I only have 333 MHz and 64 ram and it works fine :wink:
BMW 540i
2018 GTR
F90 M5
X3MC
RS3 Saloon
RS7 FL best car I've owned. No faith in turbo oil screen (turbos failing) or sticking oil scraper ring causing missfires.
F10 M5 LCI still no rear grip lol
S7 black Edition Too big and heavy
S3 8V FL DSG 310ps, road noise is a joke
RS3 8P Rubbish
C7 RS6 Fantastic car but missed playing
GTR R35 800bhp, too extreme, crazy fast though
911 Turbo Remapped. Hated it
F10 M5, awesome but no rear grip
RS6 V10 700BHP crazy
Porsche Cayenne Turbo S 600bhp
