adyh my thoughts exactly m8 was it expensive for the software and what kind of cable do you need

the cable is about 45 quid . The reason for this is the connector to the ECU and also you need opto-isolators on it. The software is available from the above mentioned site on a shareweare trial. Then you need to get the reg key ..... wonder how  ;)
