£200?
How expensive are these fake cables? The ones I had from vag diagnostics before I got a real one were like £50 each

Fake ones are around £20. You are lucky to get a real one for £50. Where did you get it from?

I have the genuine Rosstech cable. £263 they are now.
Had a Vag diagnostics one before for £80 which worked but when i got the Rosstech one all of a sudden i had far more options and could see more controllers. I personaly would not get a copy as most of them fail one it is connected to a computer on the internet.

Personally, I don't see how it's worth taking the risk for a non-genuine cable. Imagine if something went wrong!! (Has been reported on here sometimes).
I have a genuine cable, and with all the stuff I have done, it was DEFINITELY worth every penny I paid for it.
If I didn't have a cable, I'd just drive up to people that did and get some help rather than risk it.
But hey, that's a personal opinion!
