Just as this and other things are described in the Sticky at the top of the D3 A8 Thread.

You will be happy you bought the interface the first time you reset the service indicator or troubleshoot a Check Engine light.
Guess I should not have said I bit the bullet.
I'm excited. I like doing my own work and feeling that satisfaction that I did it myself and took the time and care to do it right.

Thanks

Plus if you have any friends or relatives with a VW/Audi it's a great way to keep the beer fridge full.

I better get me an extra fridge. 😀

There seems to be a group in my area too. Maybe make some new gear head friends too.

Welcome Cboogie!! Nice ride. The LWB model is so nice, I would now find it hard to get into a NWB A8!! Yes, the few bucks I spent on the Vag-Com has saved me big $$ over the last year....use it for my 2007 Eos as well!! Good luck!!

See See, I listen and read the stickies

Already the best purchase I have made so far for my new car.





Christmas came early. This will save me almost $430 on my first repair. Paid for already.

It is a bluetooth audio adapter. It takes the bluetooth audio and converts it to an analog signal (3.5mm jack). The down side is it needs to be plugged into a USB charger.
