We have made an enhancement so that old threads should now link from search results to the correct thread. This is not yet in place for single post links
However that is not the purpose of this thread and your views whilst appreciated do deflect from the alternatives available.
To say it's a copy is unjustified, replica would be a better term.
I'm afraid I can't agree with that at all. If you used an ebay/replica cable with a licensed version of VAG-COM that you paid for, then I would have no problem with that.
But the cables you are buying are copies of old versions of interfaces which act as licences and activate the software for you - which is illegal and defrauds Ross-Tech as a business and a very helpful person as an individual.
I'm not attempting to "deflect from the alternatives available." There aren't any alternatives.

2006 Skoda Octavia vRS 2.0TFSi - goes fast
1985 Audi 90 quattro - is wet

The Alpha-bid dongle is not working for me. It works on an A4, but as soon as you put it on your S2 with the split cable for White and black plugs it does not receive any data from the car......
Turn the connectors around and it will!

That is your opinion thank you for sharing it with us but that is not the thread title or topic.
I did but it's probably useless as I received the item before the tracking updated
Cheers Jamo. I didn't bother. One 0405 ordered - good value, especially whilst our currency is strong against the dollar. It's about time I learnt how to use VAG-COM.
The only other bit of info of note is that the K line grounding sytem is not as robust as the serial ross tech or alpha bid units. This should only be of concern to people using a KKL or those that have the 'after market radio' issue.
