Hi All,

I'm selling my VCDS cable. It is a HEX+CAN cable and it's a GENUINE Ross-Tech product (this is not a Chinese knock-off that claims to be genuine but that is really IP theft from the original manufacturer).

This model cable is now discontinued by Ross-Tech (it's been superseded by their HEX-NET series devices), but it is perfectly OK for all but the most modern VAG vehicles:

• The cable is still supported by the latest VCDS software that can be downloaded free from the Ross-Tech site HERE.
• Details regarding the functionality of the cable and its compatibility with various model cars can be found HERE.
• Plus, this cable has no limitation on the number of VIN that can be used!

I purchased this cable from a Ross-Tech Australia distributor a while back. I still have the receipt for the purchase and license info to substantiate its authenticity.

I have registered this cable with Ross-Tech as the original purchaser but the new buyer has the option to transfer ownership details for a fee of $99 USD -but only if they want. This option is NOT necessary to use the full functionality of the cable - see HERE for details of what "registration" provides!

The ONLY reason that I'm selling this cable is that I now own 2 x HEX-HET devices - consequently, my trusty HEX-USB+CAN cable has been sleeping quietly in my workshop drawer, unused for a long, long while. It's time to sell- I think!!!

I'll even throw-in time on my MQB platform test-bench and some free tutorials on how to use VCDS if the buyer is a "new bee" in the black arts of diagnostic analysis

$381.53 seems like a very specific asking price???

$381.53 seems like a very specific asking price???

Must admit it had me thinking WTF also. Just round it up or down to the nearest $5 or $10.

shauno/Lucas_R: I happen to like numbers, some better than others!! But my least preferred number is zero - actually, as lots of mathematicians will confirm (I'm not a mathematician), zero is not a number at all; it's a concept (this is one of the answers to the question as to whether zero is a prime number).

So, my price of $381.53 was half selected by my prejudice against the number zero - but it was more governed by my time value of money calculation from the price and date of purchase (in current-day dollars, with a discount for age).

In any event, the number is purely a tool to signal seller expectation; the "ONO" (Or Nearest Offer) next to the price indicates my willingness to be persuaded of another number (ultimately, the cable is only worth what the market will pay)! My suspicion was that counteroffers will be "rounded" to zero and if reasonable, I will accept the number- that's how most people think!!

But thanks for the responses - are either of you interested in the cable? I'm more than happy to entertain a number with zeros (and with the decimal point in the correct spot) if you are so motivated!
