how do i get one and then use it..or do you think the local audi repair shop will have a VAG tool and thus he can connect it to the car, and then use it to clear the inspection and thus, no more warning light message?....

Default if you go in my sig... you will see a link that says vag locator :)

click and find the nearest one. Then email the person. You can order it from ross-tech.com or purems.com.. it's not listed on the website but if you phone he'll get you one .. they are around 250$ for the cable ... if you're in socal i can vag it for you... and once again.. please change the subject line.. even if it just says "a comment".. it's nicer then reading the same **** over and over

Default follow up

thanks man...i guess since i live in Jacksonville, FL ther are about 3 people according to your VAG Locator which is quite helpful...However, I am still unsure on what exactly I need to do and how i deal with these people when I contact him. Is this the list of people who already have a VAG in which i can theirs. Or, are these the people I have to purchase it from...This is my first Audi A4, and even though I love it, i am still trying to figure how everything works...Please let me know Awesome....Thanks again

Default those people already have vags...

we added our name to that list so audi owners that don't have a vag can borrow ours. You write them an email saying where you are and that you need to get your car vagged. They will arrange a time and you can meet up. They will plug in your car to their laptop... read all your error codes... offer some diagnoses and you usually throw some starbucks or a 10 sport their way... a bit more if they drove to meet you. good luck man
