I have been debating getting the VCDS cable, there are a few settings I am looking over that I would like, just trying to decide if the cost is worth it. Although the more I drive my A6 the more I feel I am a long term member of the Audi family so it will come in use on my next car ;-)

All in all, it's a good investment - I've had mine for several years and have used it on all my Audis since the '01 A6.
