how much for the cable?

can it only be purchased from offical places or ebay as well?

 

[stoneyfordNI]

the unofficial-read ebay , wont activate the vagcom software , you will only get limited functionality from it ,plus many people-myself included have issues with connection to cars etc ,

if you look on the ross tech site you will see other official vendors

how much is the offical cable by itself?

Ross-Tech always sells sets consisting of hardware and software, which means there is no "cable itself" price - it's always a combination of both.
