Loose Nut Behind the Wheel Vendor
I was turned on to this by a couple VW technicians who gave this tool the thumbs up. It's sold by Deutsche Auto Parts and the product is called OBDeleven.
It's a very compact OBD2 dongle and is a wireless Bluetooth setup. Currently it only works with Android devices.
After watching this review it appears that it is every bit as capable as VCDS, it's just not as intuitive, the label files aren't as complete for measured values, basic settings, adaptations as well as that handy dandy long coding helper VCDS has.
So, while you can do everything VCDS can, it's not as intuitive or easy to do many of those jobs. But, if you know what you're doing, it still gets the job done.
Only runs $60. I haven't purchased one yet, but it definitely piqued my interest, especially once I heard a couple VW technicians sing its praises.
For me, it won't replace VCDS, especially for the more advanced jobs, but there is a certain attraction to the price, capability and the fact that it's wireless that I will almost certainly be picking one up at one point and use it for certain jobs where having a cable hooked to the car is a little less than convenient.
Thought I should share. I am not at all affiliated with the product nor Deutsche Auto Parts, but this is one of those rare moments that a product got my attention and figured it was worth sharing with everyone.
