You need the cable off ross-tech website for full edition otherwise it wont let you do hardly anything on the free edition and to get it to work with a 3rd party cable is a right biatch..

ah thank you so much. was just researching into it. luckily i haven't purchased the cable yet. so am i right in saying the free version is mainly for reading codes etc. full edition software is a bit pricey for me atm. it will have to wait :)

the free edition will only let you read codes i dont think it will let you even erase codes..
