That's pretty much what I understand from it  :tongue:

Not sure how this stands on the long codes, but seems like a good priced cable if it lives up to the hype:

Well the pic shows Realease 10.6.2 and Data version: 20101123 mine is Realease 10.6.3 and Data version: 20101206 so its using the older version but the pic looks registered.

Did yours come from ebay or was it a proper Ross Tech one?

10.6.3 cables available http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180646370852&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT. I can't comment on how well they work.

Google it mattlittle I don't think its a matter that they screw your car up its a matter that you have limited functions.

Cheers, I had googled it and found nothing but sometimes it is difficult to work out if this is because only a limited set of people are using them.

If there are no other negative views, I will prob go for it.

I suppose if it does damage your car then its the chance you take with these illegal cables.
