Will there be a study for ? If it won't be done, I'll sell my cable and get OBDeleven. Because I need to code on my vehicle.
@OwnerTR: of course your question is really one for Ross-Tech to answer - but maybe the timing of a response might not be optimal (just now) and/or perhaps there might be certain "commercial sensitivities" at the current time that may preclude a formal reply?
But, one of the advantages of us both being a non-RT forum members is that we can speculate without the interference of these corporate restrictions!!
So, with absolutely NO official information and based purely on logic (and completely without RT sanction) -here's the thing: currently there is no real solution to for those of us in the enthusiast market. This admission is not (so much) intended as a criticism- it's meant as a statement of fact. Yes, if tokens can be acquired, can be used - but access to tokens by the great unwashed masses is ..... well problematic at best and it's almost certainly an expensive exercise!!
Until the recent solution was announced - this wasn't a "competitive" issue amongst third party diagnostic cable manufacturers because they were all in the same boat.
Now, without wanting to get into a debate about the relative merits of the "other cable" versus , suggestions like those in the posts above (i.e. using the "other cable" to unlock modules and to make actual changes) highlights the dilemma faced by non-professional users! And in truth, the suggestion that in future users will need to own 2 x diagnostic cables for cars isn't a workable solution for Ross-Tech in the competitive market.
So, bottom line and completely , what are the chances that Ross-Tech is pursuing a similar facility with Volkswagen-AG to the solution announced by the "other cable"?
I
never gamble without the certainty of winning - but I will take this bet (and I will give you odds against the wager)!!
, It's not a question of whether will provide a solution for enthusiast users - the only question is when?
