the free version you can bascially just read fault codes if there is a problem with your mk4...

full version you can do auto windows etc.... you need to buy the VAG COM cable.. you can get one off ebay for £13.99... and then just download the software of the ross tech website which is free  :smiley:

have a look through the threads for this week, there was about 5 vag-com threads each with a link to a cable  :wink:
