buying VCDS

Post by gt160 »

Hi all,

Im sure this has probably been discussed before but most likely due to my rubbish searching skills i am drawing a blank.

Has anyone got any recommendations for where I can buy the VCDS cable and software. IT needs to be compatible with a vw passat b6 (2006) but also within the VW transporter T5/5.1 range (2005 - 2013/4)

I am very confused as there appears to be some very cheap cables and some very expensive and not many with the actual software. Some seem to suggest i can get away with VCDS Lite if im only looking to mostly diagnose faults and adjusts and enable settings on the car and use with a single laptop?

Any help or recommendations would be very much appreciated, I am a complete noob when it comes to VAG diagnostics, but I was quite lucky during my Peugeot/Citroen ownership days of having there main dealer software peugeot planet and diagbox for vehicles up to about 2015 and it proved invaluable.

Many thanks, look forward to hearing any suggestions :)
