      Well really it doesn't surprise me too much, they don't make much money on the hardware and it is not like they can resell the trade-ins they get. It is not like the trade in is a good deal anyways. If you have a newer cable you could sell it for more then you would trade it in.

        That's lame. When I got my vag-com I called Ross-tech and they just told me to get it at Sensolutions.

          you are eligible for this with a Sensolution cable:

          Not as good as the trade-in, but better then nothing.

          Hi, I have a KEY-USB cable that I picked up at Sensolutions in Calgary Alberta, and have registered the product with you. Am I eligible for the upgrade pricing to a CAN interface? Word is that the cable must come direct from Ross-Tech to be eligible.
          thanks,

          Stefan,
          Sensolutions produces their own hardware, so you would not be eligible for the trade-in offers on our site. You would be eligible for this OUTRIGHT upgrade if you send the KEY-USB to us:

          http://www.ross-tech.com/Merchant2/m..._Code=Outright

          Effectively, the most credit we could give you for a trade-in would be $100 (retail value of the license embedded in your interface). Since it's an "OEM" interface not purchased through Ross-Tech, the hardware itself has no trade-in value to us. You may want to check with Sensolutions to see if they offer upgrades.

          Regards,
          Andy

            Well that is a bull$hit statment right there, there is no difference between a ross-tech and a sensolutions key series. Now sensolutions doesn't manufacture the hex series but my bet is that they take the tradein hardware throw a new case on it and program a new license in bamo back on the shelf. If anyone does want to upgrade let me know, I can't make any promises but I can atleast look into it for you.

              so if one were to cover licence cost + labour, sensolutions should technically be able to but the CAN interface hardware into my current KEY+USB, no?

                Maybe, not sure if they have finished their CAN design yet and I am sure if would be all different hardware anyways.

                      This will be the cheapest method. Best of all they are in Canada.
