VW-Audi parts microfiche/CD on EBAY. Anybody know if this is useful, or is any good? Comments?
 

There is a CD-ROM of VW and Audi parts microfiche available on EBAY right now, and I am wondering if this is of any use to us S4 folks. Does it complement the Bentley CD-ROM?
Anybody have any thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance for your comments and opinions.

only if u have your AOA decoder ring

What does that mean?

I have one and consider it invaluable...
 

It basically shows you all the parts from any year Audi or VW (not sure if it includes 2001s). It lists the parts and associated part numbers and makes things extremely easy when ordering parts from the dealer or from clairparts.com. It also can come in handy to see how the parts fit together.

I paid $25 for mine, but think its worth $250!

Now for the bad...
- You must be running your display at a high resolution.
- Somewhat difficult to install if you don't know the tricks
- Make sure you get the US version so all the part numbers will be correct (I actually have 2, the first one I got was the European version)
- You are not going to get a real CD, just a burned copy
- I am sure that this is illegal
