Wow many thousands there as he said.
Honestly I wouldn't. That's a fair price on it though lot's of job's could be done out of that. But you wouldn't be happy with it.

Note that one doesnt include laptop. You'll need something old with hardware parallel port for the security dongle and rs232 serial. Does not work in a VM, or with usb interfaces (not windows software, timing gets mucked up in the windows driver layer).
Have you read the FAQ? For lots of information and links to significant threads see here: http://pcmhacking.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1396

Yeah i am not going to buy it, the guy selling it does sound genuine, so maybe this package may be useful for someone here.

I did buy a 808 coms kit tonight though. cheers for the advice guys.

If what you see is what you get buying that kit like that would be useless. I can't see a dongle and it wouldn't work without it. Also to have the complete kit you'd need at least 1 more PCM to do VT-VX-VY V6 and it appears to be missing most of the forced induction software versions.
