| Re: How Much and Which one? You don't need a license if you by a genuine ross-tech cable, as the cable has dongle licence built in. If you want to cover all bases (current and future) get http://www.ross-tech.com/Merchant2/m...ry_Code=VAGCOM I think the S3 has a mix of Canbus and K-line so your better of with the above one anyway.
