4 stars for the VagCom cable, as I’m sure it works OK, but I found the driver install info a bit poor. However, 5 STARS for service, as I returned the device for a refund, and this was processed quickly by the company. Very impressed and would deal with them again.

Had to download the driver from ftti on my win 10 64bit laptop, no big deal. Worked perfectly with FreeSSM and romraider on a 2005 Subaru liberty (actually a UK legacy grey import) 3.0 H6
