Default For less than $20 you can be set up to deal with this problem

buy a SERIAL cable from Autonostics.com (NOT USB!) Buy a $60 OBDTOOL cable if you want something a little higher quality.

download the free VWTOOL software, and have at it.

If you're the kind of guy who wants excellent technical support then pony up the $$ for a real VAGCOM unit.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a6100/msgs/92369.phtml">Link where you can download VWTOOL for free</a></li></ul>
