Does the eBay cable come with the software?
Anyone got a link?

the reason you had probs could be you tried the wrong software with it. the cheapo ebay cables only work with the old 409.1 version of the software and i think the vcds-lite version.

you cant use the latest full vcds version as for this one you need a maore expensivce cable, these have the software licence built in which is why they cost so much

I have both, VCDS HEX-USB and ebay cheap un. Both work fine on the Mk3 Golf.

The free software is now called lite. http://www.ross-tech.com/vcds-lite/download/index.html

The only problem with the unregistered one is that you cannot do a fault code scan, but on the mk3 there are not many modules to choose from, so it's easy.
