I was going to buy a cable from rosstech, but they were going to charge me $60 for shipping, and I just couldn't stomach giving fed-ex that kind of money to ship a cable that weighs less than a pound, and rosstech wouldn't send it with anyone else, so they lost the sale. You can get them on ebay for about 20-30 bucks, but you have to get the software from rosstech, so i'm just wandering what the deal is with registering or using the free version of the software. Anyone got any insight how it all works? I don't really need the vag-com, but i'm a bit of tech-head, so its something that piqued my interest in being able to play with the cars computer
