VCDS cable for sale
Posted: Tue Jul 05, 2011 11:50 am
I'm looking to sell my genuine VCDS cable. It's a KEY-USB (which Ross Tech now call the KII-USB), so it has the K-lines, but no CAN. The only reason I'm selling is because I now have a newer car that uses CAN and therefore I need to upgrade. I used this cable for years with my RS6 and AFAIK, it is 100% compatible with that car and others of a similar age (but please do your own research!). It's a chunky cable and it's in great condition having only had occasional use.
Ross-tech offer an upgrade system were I to send this cable back in, but that seems like a faff and it may as well go cheap to someone here rather than RT making more profit! It seems that upgrading saves me $190 ($159 vs $349), so that's what the cable's effectively worth to me (their equivilent KII-USB costs $249). Add on P&P of a fiver, and it anyone wants it for £125, let me know. I don't know if this price is competitive, I just know what discount I can get with it. Please note that this cable acts as a dongle/licence for the full VCDS software, so don't compare the price with those on eBay that only work with VCDS-lite.
