this jobby should do me nice then i will order that asap
That's VAG Commander cable for changing mileage, getting PIN for immobiliser, resetting airbags not the diagnostics cable.

I cannot tell you that the 409.1 will not work with your car.

I also cannot tell you that you need the clone 10.6 version for your car.

I would recommend you do not google it to find a cheap clone of 10.6 to work with your car.
