Has anyone used the c£30 VCDS programs you can get on the likes of ebay and amazon? Obviously copies but if they work well enough I'm happy

Yes, KKL £5-10 interfaces seem to be OK but are slower and do not offer full functionality on newer cars. HEX + CAN starting from £12 for older versions can be a bit of hit and miss, some work very well others produce a lot of communication errors but this can usually be solved by connecting battery charger to the car to raise voltage, sometimes they can fail after time. Seems like they do not like low voltage and you don't know how good it will be until you buy and try.
The last one I have bough after having some KKL interfaces, some failing and others dog getting hold of and destroying is this one
https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...608.0.0.DYrMHB and it has been faultless so far. The same seller now also sell newer version which was not available when I bought mine
https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...608.0.0.qP0SIu But obviously there is no guarantee that it will be faultless even if you buy the same version from the same seller.
Also if you are topcashback.co.uk member you can get 7.87% cashback from Aliexpress purchases but it takes about 3 months.
