It's called VCDS now as VW warned them they must not use VAG in the trade name. You can get it directly from the Rosstech site in US or Gendan the UK distributor.
The fake cables used to be officially 'supported' by a very old version of VCDS but I think that's all changed now.
Also, newer cars such as ours need HEX CAN cables whereas these fake ones are usually K-line only and so only work with some modules if any.

Having said that, many start off with the cheap cables and then get frustrated and spend the extra so if you just want a cheap introduction you could try one.
