Theres this new thing called VAGCOM a few of the guys have experemented with on the forum.
Got it myself but i don't know what all the fuss is about. LOL!

Only kidding mate, the cheap ones are good for Diagnostics but don't think you can do a lot with them.
Ross-Tech one is what i've got and its fantastic for all aspects of diagnostics and editing.

I have a cheap fault code reader an "eLaunch" its good to read codes and reset engine check lights, airbag light etc but other than that its just a toy! But only a £10 a couple of years ago a car show. So good for what it does but VAGCOM loads better!
