Yorktown Hts NEW YORK, Have the cable in the garage and have the computer upstairs.I just hook up the car,turn on the engine and walk up stairs to the conputer.Not as nice as having a laptop, but it works! Uwe and his product( Vag-Com) are super. He keeps updating it and the forum on line is great. Lots of members discussing problems with their cars and how they resolve them.If you need to look at your car drop me an e-mail. I'm near Peekskill, NY.
