    car pc in a mk3 (need details on OBDII/VAG-COM)

    Heya fellas,

    I've found a new way to spend my money - a car pc.

    My main reason for doing this is because I'm sick of having to always burn off new CDs onto an MP3 disc when I buy new stuff and I want GPS.

    I'll post details on how I want it eventually be configured if you guys want (i.e. additional specs, components, fabrication) but the main reason for posting is because the program I intend to use (centrafuse) has OBDII control in it.

    I know Vdubs use VAG-COM, but i also hear that VAG-COM is semi compatible with OBDII specifications. I've had a look for a VAG-COM/OBDII USB cable, and came up with this... but then I look on ebay and find this for so much cheaper....

    I'm confused... does VAG-COM need a dongle to activate it? is it really compatible with OBDII? why is there such a HUGE price difference between the cables...

    i just dont want to go wasting my money willy nilly.
