Just received my Ross-Tech cable!! YEAH!!!!!! Its a must have!!!

[Spyke]

Hello all!

Since I changed my Cadillac for my first VW in 2012, I've missed doing my own maintenance since the car was on warranty. But then, I had a deal to trade my 2012 SE manual for a 2013 SEL DSG due to a lot of issues with the car. When I saw the bill with my 60 000 kms (40k miles) maintenance: 800$, I bought the Ross-Tech cable directly from their websites.

First of all, great service from Ross-Tech. I bought a HEX-USB-CAN cable online. less than 24 hours later, Fedex was at my door and I live in Montreal so thats fast!

What I've done so far:

-disable warning on navigation when typing and driving
-cluster staging under indication_celebration
-adjust avg fuel consumption
-adjust speed (before 10% up, now I'm 3% up with winter tires)
-enable emergency light when abs is engaged
-climatronic staging

There's a lot more that I want to do but I have to work too so it will wait a bit.

I know there's a thread for VCDS and what to do with it, but I just want to say that for those who hesitate buying the cable, DO IT!! it worth the investment.

It is (without a doubt) the most valuable and most used tool in my "toolbox". Every VW owner should either own VCDS or have a friend nearby who does own it. Just my opinion.

Have Fun!

So that's a total of 11 exclamation marks "must have." I guess when I hit my last free service I'll buy one. (!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I want one for my 09 and 11, but I keep finding one more thing to fix that doesn't need vcds. Every time I budget for it, I discover another $100-200 fix......

No one around the Grand Rapids MI answers in the list. Closest was a guy in Cedar Springs, no reply yet. I figured rude to flood with pms. If he's interested, he'd reply.
