    Careful, the cheap dongles don't like some makes. I bought 2 and neither talk to vw or skoda and allegedly ford, though I can't confirm personally.

    But yeah, torque is the app of choice

    VAG need their own vag compatible reader afaik.?

    as bad as apple they are with their own special diagnostic protocol crap, they should use obd2 like everyone else.
