Don't get a VCDS clone with version lower than 15 and don't get a VCDS clone spending more than 20. Search outside ebay, you will find. Damage with such a pirated cable is unlikely, but could happen.
Vcds Pirate Cable
Let's be clear here, the cloned VCDS versions are illegal almost everywhere, including Greece, because they contain copied and pirated software. Software is an intellectual work and is copyrighted so it's pretty much like the example with the CD I mentioned earlier. I don't support piracy, but I would help anyone without asking if he's using pirated VCDS, Windows or anything like that.
Gendan are a UK distributor for Rosstech so check them out. I have just bought VCDS from them for about 270 which i think is good value for how useful it can be. An added bonus is that the license comes built into the cable so I can lend it to a friend for example and all they need to do is download the latest version of VCDS.
The whole MIB2 issue is due to a buffer overflow present at versions prior to 15.7.3 for which the only ones to blame are Ross-Tech. Even original cables updated to versions between 15 and 15.7.2 had this problem.
