Vag Cable For 2019 Vw
I bought one of the cheap cables on the first go around. Could have just as well flushed the cash down the toilet. The actual Ross-Tech cable sits on the CANBUS and talks to the other modules directly. It provides much more bandwidth.

As an added kicker, the cheap cables come with a copy of the free software you can download from Ross-Tech to begin with. It might be adequate, barely, if you REALLLY know what you're doing, but for anything an owner is likely to attempt, you'll want the full version of VCDS, and quite possibly, the support provided.You'll need the Micro-CAN at least.
Personally, I'd splurge just a bit (and did for myself) and get the HEX-CAN+USB version. I'm all for taking the cheap way with cables and this sort of stuff if it works just as well myself.but that said, it's worth the money for the propper setup here.especially if you are a DIY'er and/or plan on keeping the car for a long time. Makes it a little easier when you consider how long it will be usefull for. Also as mentioned with the software.don't look at it as a $10 cable vs a $250 cable that does the same thing. With the propper rosstech cable, you are paying for the whole package, more so the software then simply an overpriced cable that includes some software.
