Pretty sure they're up to $2...get some micro blade crimp on ends, and you've got a tester.

I spent a good hour and a half bashing my knuckles around behind the radio cavity. Could only find one, taped to another bundle of cables as shown in the photo below. I'll look again for the other one like you recommend, but so far I haven't been able to find it.



On another note, I found a
VAG 305 scanner VAG 305 scanner
with an OBD II interface connector on Amazon, which claims to be compatible with http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51A-Zq2B55L.jpg. It requires an
adapter cable adapter cable
which converts the 16 pin plug to the older 2+2 style connectors though. Has anyone here in the V8Q community tried this kind of device?

If the V8 is the only VW/Audi you have the 305 may be worth the gamble. I did get a "cheap" adapter cable, spent about $13.00. So I would get both. If the 305 does not work or you want to upgrade you still have the adapter cable to use with a Ross-Tech VAGCOM.
