If you have a laptop to hand then just get the cable because you can copy and save the fault codes and givea u short description what it is etc.. The code reader is more for on the go and will only show you the code.

VAGCOM is better but dont fink it works on Windows 7.... only Vista and XP (unless you pay for it from VAGCOM)
