Thanks for the replies, all. Any recommendations on OBD II connector
/ software for a windows laptop? Are they all pretty much the same or
are there specific combos that work well with Audis? I'd like to get
it as inexpensively as possible. I've seen some shareware software
packages on the web that seem like they may do the trick. Or should I
spring for the Ross-Tech package?

TIA

 

Ross Tech is the one to get:
