    Hmm... Please don't take this the wrong way, but @ $600, it's a pricey alternative to the more popular VCDS cables. But as you say, it does way more than just diagnostics, measurement values and adaptation/coding changes.

    Problem for the buyer is understanding the value proposition (for either cables). That is - how to justify the increased price against the "other goodies". But I guess you are pitching to an entirely different niche market than the one Mr Ross targets.

    For prospective buyers who are looking to lower the cost of purchase -not having a facility for older K-line protocols might be a better option. Do you sell the cheaper unit (i.e. just CAN Bus)? Doing a rough conversion-should be about $400 based on your cost for the VCP!

    Also, what's the buyer's arrangement with VCP for software? Is there an annual fee for updated software, or are software updates provided at no additional cost - like VCDS?

    Finally, if prospective buyers do see value in the goodies that VCDS can't provide (i.e. Firmware mods - incidentally in mentioning "CP" do you mean Component Protection and if so can you confirm that connection to FAZIT isn't required?) , it sounds like more user training will be needed. How does this happen?

    Please don't PM to ask questions about coding, or vehicle repairs. The better place to deal with these matters is on-line, in the forum proper. That way you get the benefit of the expertise of the wider forum! Thank you.
