Buying a secondhand vcds cable

[ac505]

i have the chance to pick up a genuine vcds cable from a friend who no longer uses his. Is there a software user license required to get the most up to date software, also any problems registering the software on a second pc?

What's the going rate for a cable nowadays?

Hi mate,

Second hand cables retain their value quite well due to obvious reasons. If your friend has already registered then to re-register the cable to yourself is about $99 I believe, so make sure you weigh that into things. Registering is important as it's what allows you to update your cable to the latest software.

If you're interested in getting a NEW cable sorted then whip me a PM.

Thanks,

If the cable is genuine, then its licensed to use with the latest software right now. Just download the latest version of the software for that cable from the Ross-Tech website and you're off. Genunine cables can be used on any laptop.

Further info if you want to register, at cost, as a second hand owner is here. This gives you technical support from Ross-tech if required.

I don't know what they go for second hand, but just think with a genuine cable you get access to all modules in any VW group car, updates of the software for life too. I've had mine for seven years, well worth the cost, no trips to the garage for me without knowing the issue before.
