Did you buy the genuine VCDS cable off eBay?
I imagine you bought a cheap copy and therefore need to use it with the software provided with the cable, make sure you don't connect to the internet either as it'll attempt to update, then break

You can only use the rosstech software if you've got a genuine cable. If yours isn't genuine then you're restricted to the software that came with it

They are wallet intense though which is why lot's of people opt for the cheap and often unreliable option of ebay knock off's

The Gen one is well worth it if your going to make use of it
Agreed, and you will be helping keep the product up to date, free loaders are just like shop lifters, take what they want and give nothing back.

What cable did you buy? I've got 2 I bought a cheap Ebay one and one from china I could rip the cd 's and send you files to see if that works ?
I don't think that chatting on a public forum about copying/sharing software under the topic "Ross tech help!!!" is very clever, either buy the genuine Rosstech product and discuss issues on that section of this forum, or be honest and use the title "Knocked off software" and prepare to be banned.

We'll I know nothing about Ross tech and just happened to get the wrong thing :/ now I'm going to invest in a genuine cable I'm not asking anyone to share they're software or anything of the sort i was just asking for help as people on here are a lot more knolagable than me so tbh if I get banned for asking a question I'm unsure about I don't think there's much point of any of being on here

I bought my cable from gendan.co.uk if your going to get a gen one.
Delivery was very quick
Well the fact you can download the software free of Ross tech means me sending software to him is doing nothing wrong. I was trying to help him get his cable working as he hasn't got a cd-rom on his laptop.
You also have to change the UBS settings to get the cable to work properly. Can't remember off the top of my head how you do it but its something to do with the com number you assign it.
