are these cables any good?? 

what can be done without registering the software, ive read that you are restricted to what you can do?

i would just like to read for fault codes and try and get the code for my gamma radio, if its possible..

Dont know about the radio code but Vag software 409.1 which is free off Ross-tech is very easy to use and follow with plenty of info within the web site and on the forum.

and good fun knowing the stealers are not charging a fortune to clear bity faults at a stupid price!!!!!

Happy days
