VAG-COM in Jersey City NJ area?
Hi,
I've got my hands on a stock 1998 A4 (B5) 2.8 quattro that's showing the AIR BAG light. I tried to go the cheapo route with an ebay cable, and after first discovering that it wouldn't work at all unless I yanked the fuse for the radio, I then discovered that the cheapo cable wouldn't do anything more than pass the "test".
It's not my car, and I haven't decided yet if I'll be keeping it, and I'm wary as to whether or not the OBD port even works. So purchasing a Ross-Tech cable for myself isn't something I'm ready to commit to. That'll be a different story
Anyone in the area willing to give me a hand and try scanning this thing?

Replaced cheapo cable with another cheapo cable
I sent back the first cheapo cable and bought another - which was advertised to have the FTDI chip. Worked flawlessly, scanned everything, and cleared the light as expected.
