Yup.  And CAN-BUS too.

Not personally, but unless they are genuine Ross Tech leads, they won't work with the latest release of their software, and you won't get any tech support, like you do with the genuine ones.  So fcuk eBay ones.

Huh . . .

All you need is the "HEX+CAN to USB".  Not cheap, but it will do all the modern stuff, and will even fault code read non-VAG stuff too (using the OBD-II protocol).
