VCDS Cable - genuine HEX+CAN USB
 

Hi folks

It’s unlikely I’ll be back in a big Audi anytime soon so my VCDS Cable is no longer required.

It’s an unlimited VIN pro cable, imported from the States by me in the days of a slightly better exchange rate.

It’s a very well supported and powerful piece of kit.

An identical one is on eBay at £265 plus postage with 24 hrs remaining on the auction.

Forum price here of £250 inc postage for mine, only gentleman’s caveat is that it’s for your own use and not for resale/profit.

Thanks

:)

I will take it

Cheers!

Didn’t think it’d last long at that price.

I’ll PM you payment details and we can take it from there

Crikey, the one on ebay went for £327, I had no idea that a cable could appreciate in price! I'm almost tempted to get rid of mine now everything is coded how I like and all retrofits done yonks ago.

I personally think they are overpriced but took the opportunity to sell mine whilst prices were still inflated for the V1. It was purchased cheap and I made around £100 profit which virtually paid for a 10 vin V2. The reason I upgraded was because I think the V1 may become unsupported although there is no evidence of this. Besides, I didn't need 'unlimited' VINs (I don't even need 10) but for a virtually straight swap I thought why not.

Came across this on the Ross-Tech site, which implies that it won't support the newer cars. Neil could check this since he has a D5:

Compatibility:

This interface works with all diagnostic-capable VW, Audi, Seat, and Skoda models from 1990 through 2015.
It does NOT fully support the following vehicles:

2016+ Audi Q7 (Rest-of-World) Chassis 4M (2017+ North American Region chassis F7)
2016+ Audi A4 B9 (Rest-of-World) chassis 8W (2017+ North American Region chassis F4).
2017+ models (including all MQB-A0 cars such as the SEAT Ibiza KJ)

Yes the V1 will only partially support some models after 2015, some it won't support at all. It was one of the reasons I upgraded too, although I don't have anything 2015+ (yet).

I tend to view VCDS as almost part of the car, like a spare wheel, so stays with it unless there's a good reason not to sell them together. ;)

Correct Sean the D5 requires the Hex-V2 lead +++
