Default U281 FAULT Code Reader ??

I'm considering this:

281 FAULT Code Reader VW/Audi/Seat/Skoda OBD2 EOBDII

http://www.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=4855539

The product description includes: "Reads and erases Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) of Engine, ABS, Airbags and Automatic Transmission."

It's $30 -- will it really reset the airbag light? Mine comes on because of a strange electrical problem related to headlamp washers (I think) and I keep having the dealer reset it.

So, my question, anyone have reliable info on this product?

Thanks!

if yo have the $$$ a vag-com from ross-tech is well worth it, it scans, clears codes and wiki suggests possible causes for the code, not to mention changing functions, bought mine for my 01 jetta, used it many times to save $$ it paid for itself, i now have it for use on my TT or any vw or audi, updates are free on line whenever something new comes along like new 2012 models, soon after intro you get updates on new models!!!
