Default Service indicator reset

Hi, Just bought a 2009 A8 4.2TDI looks and first impressions seem great, wanting to give her a service, how do you reset the service indicator? and where is the diagnostic plug in the car?

Are you going to ADI, if you are I'll have my cable and software and can do it there for you, assuming you serviced it of course.
