Thanks Coastie

Answers every question I had.

Guess I'll just have to buy the real deal.

Yeah reading into the email what you will, the lesser dumb interfaces may be able to have an activated license, also the lower versions of the software may be possible to use with this cable. However anything that seems to have the CAN capabilities seems to be associated with the dongle type interface and as such I think they have the right to withhold their technology.

Full purchase seems to be the best option for the latest and supported cable and software.

It is very interesting that DX will not reply to my emails any more either. Once I asked for my money back as the cable they sold me is not in fact a VAGCOM cable. A few dollars of experience seen here. Learn from the mistake.

Did you request an RMA?
I've just submitted an RMA & have asked a question on the DX forum. There's a guy there - Sperminator - that appears to represent the company that makes the cables.

I had problems with a bad batch of Acecards in the past & they were replaced without an issue.

Yes I sent an RMA and they replied that my request was on the wrong form and suggested I try another form which also was incorrect. Will wait and see what the new week brings.

On the DX forum I think Sperminator is just another customer who has used several cables for some reason. Seeing as he is trying to buy a cable earlier this month.

Also the U tube link is good but the Japanese is a little hard to read.

Good luck getting your money back.

Try Jmac in Runcorn. He has a Ross-Tech cable but knows them pretty much inside out.

I could help you out. Not sure if I could take your money though.

I'm looking for the same for anyone in SA - Also would like the distance until empty mod done.

Anyone know if you can utilise a OBDII cable somehow, like is there an adapter you can purchase or something?
