VCDS License with Micro-CAN Interface

I called Ross Tech to purchase this VCDS (VAG-COM Diagnostic System) License with Micro-CAN Interface And to my surprise it doesn't except Mac/Apple laptops!! They did tell me they are coming out with one in the fall And it will cost more money, that it will work with Apple Laptops!
They also told me that I can add Microsoft operating system to my MacBook Pro laptop Which will cost me seven more money!!! You would've thought that Ross tech would have already had taken care of this problem with having Apple laptops/ Interface !!!!
Any suggestions?

Go to freecycle or craigslist and look for an older laptop with XP and a USB port. Can probably pick it up for under $50 if you can't find it free. A few months ago I would have had one to send you. I have another but I don't know if it has USB ports on it. Will try to remember to check tomorrow. If it does, you can have it.

That would be awesome!! I really appreciate the help since I really can't afford another laptop at the moment!
Thanks David

While we are on the subject of vag-com, i was looking on eBay and couldn't you just buy the cable there and then download the software off Ross-tech instead of paying $350 through ross.

The Chinese copies that you get from eBay will only work with VCDS Lite and there is limited support from Ross-Tech. In addition, the Chinese vendors on eBay do not support this website like Ross-Tech does.

 

[1854sailor]

Your Mac OS already has an application called Bootcamp hiding in there which allows toy to switch boot discs. All that you need is a copy of Windows XP or 7 that you can get real cheap on eBay. I am a 100% Mac hardware person and that's how I run VCDS on my Mac Book Pro. PM me if you need any assistance.

Yea but if you don't need support and know what you're doing with it already would it work tho. And whats the difference between the Lite and the regular version. I'm not trying to be cheap just $370 for a cable and some software to reset my service reminder on my audi is a little outrageous.

The Stealership will charge you $50-$75 to turn off the service light and if you have TDI you have to have a scan tool To service your fuel filter also to change oil in the DSG transmission!!
Which is a bunch of BS!! Shouldn't need the This type ofequipment to do regular maintenance on your vehicle!!

Been there done that. An eBay cable is no better than an obd2 scan tool that can read live data. Don't waste your 30 bucks. VCDS from Ross tech is an invaluable tool. Plus they're a local to me business so I would support them anyway.

But, if you just want it to read codes and reset the service reminder, it may not hurt finding out if the lite version can do that. I'm just saying if you want to do anything more than a code reader, you'll be disappointed.
