You can down load a non comercial version from Rosstech for nothing.

I have had vag-com for about 3 years now and it really is an in-valuable tool. We have 2 gti's and my step son has a polo and is probably the single most useful tool you can have for a vw.

Using the info VAG-COM returns, cross referenced to elsawin.. there is basically nothing the stealership can do that you cant..
