Default Newbie need VAG help, what do I need?

Im still pretty new to all this VAG thing and would really like to do some coding on my 2013 Q7. Im handy with a computer and cars, but I dont know what I need or where to get what I need to get this done.
Can someone please help me out and tell me exactly what I need and where to buy it (cables, software etc.)?

This is the leading tool that probably 90% of the DIY guys use:

Ross-Tech: Home

Their website explains which version of cable you'll need, and you can buy from them directly or one of their listed authorized distributors. They have a wiki and support/discussion forum and there are many links in this forum for coding tweaks.

were you ever able to enable your oil level indicator by going to module 7 , adaptation, and adding +8 to the last number?
