VAG-COM interface question

[LIRS6]

I did a search, but came up only with some info from almost 2 yrs ago ...

Finally considering ordering VAG-COM (have only owned the car for 5+ yrs :doh:). Which type Ross-Tech interface best suits 2003 RS6. My laptop has both serial and USB ports.

Thanks in advance

USB, call them and ask if in doubt.

Go with the USB as Serial will be dead in a couple of years. I think you want the KEY/KII-USB

USB is the way to go.

Is this the right one? http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/kii-usb.html

Are there any advantages (for 2003 RS6) to this one?

http://www.ross-tech.com/vcds/canbus.html leads me to believe the first choice will give the same functionality on our cars but I want to be sure and have input from other users.

Yea, there are a couple more things you can do with the Hex-Can and if you have or plan on having a newer Audi/VW you should definitely go with the Hex-Can.

Absolutely agree. All later cars need CAN.
