Default What's the difference between ebay usb vag tools & awe(rosstech)?

<center><img src="http://solintegra.net/images/ou-01.jpg"></center><p>is it just the software that needs to be purchased afterwards? the 229.00 vag tool on awe is only a serial port, compared to the usb version from ebay. im very confused.

Default huh? moderators dont like comparos? im not trying to bad mouth ross-tech. just wondering.

if anything, i think buying the HEX-USB is the best thing, since it does practically everything.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ross-tech.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&amp;Product_Code=VCHUC&am p;Category_Code=VAGCOM">http://www.ross-tech.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&amp;Product_Code=VCHUC&am p;Category_Code=VAGCOM</a</li></ul>

Default I think he is just refering to someone getting banned a couple days ago

for saying he could get RS4 parts from a non AW sponsored source for half the price of sponsored sources.

So what exactly are the features that don't come with the free version that you have to pay for?

You only get blocks 1-25... Not having block 115 is huge!
