OK, will do.
I wasn't intending to use the VAG-COM for the BM but the idea has got me thinking..... but I've already ordered the BM specific one that the guys in the coding thread recommend.... should be here tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest.
Actually the VAG-COM won't even help on the Audi at the moment owing to the fact that SWMBO appears to have misinterpreted it as a child's toy and disposed of it
