Both will work on the ED30.

I'd try and stick to the Ross-tech versions though if possible as they are guaranteed quality and some of the lower quality ones have been known to not work (or not correctly).

You can also get the MICRO-CAN version which is MKV specific if you wanted and this would save money through Ross-tech over the full HEX-USB-CAN version and you'll get full back-up from the site. :smiley:

I wouldn't buy either as they are not genuine ross tech cables plus you have to only use their supplied hacked ross tech software with them.
If you try updating the software to the latest version from ross tech, the cable will become non-functional.

I replied to your post on the other forum, it's simply a waste of money to buy the counterfeit cables.  Buy genuine, get the support and a quality product.
