Hello Malcol,
I bought two cables from Ebay for a few euros. The problem are not the cables but the software. Often it is a pure "reading" software. A lot of these prgrams cannot change settings (eg. service intervalls or oil change). The software delivered with these cables is often not the best on the market.
This software can read the error codes but you have to find out what error code "xxxyyyzzz" means what could be not so easy. Sometimes google will help.
The other thing is that with newer CAN-Bus systems (e.g. VW) not all cable will work proberly.
Keep mogging,
Christian
