VCDS buying help please??

[legacy4cam]

Hi,

looking to buy cable and software to be able to communicate properly with my A8 (2009 D3 3.0 TDI QS) rather than just whispering nicely to it whilst I wash it!!

Any recommendations/tips on best value options, I also have an older Skoda as a daily driver , and 2 or 3 friends/family who would no doubt need codes read/service lights reset/rear calipers wound back etc, etc.

Thanks in advance, apologies if I've missed a thread somewhere on this, I'm sure it will have been covered before.

Thanks in advance,

Iain
