Which Obs cable

Hi guys,

I want to enable the hidden menus in my mmi but need the VCDS / Obs cable, does anyone know which on is required?

Cheers

I enabled the "hidden" service menu with a Cresida App and a £14.99 wirless OBD2 dongle from Amazon. Worked a treat and although I had most items as standard i did also anable a couple of other items.

App is availble in App Store for apple and I believe its now avaialbe for android too.

Download App, connect phone directly to dongle via the wirelss network it creates when its plugged into the port.

The two main things I wanted was CD ripping and rear lighs on with DRL's.

I had pretty much everyhting else as standard but I feel the rear light on with DRL should be a legal requirement as in soem mainland European contries as so many people thing the thier DRLs are on so need to switch lights which really bugs me.

I tried the beep when arming the alarm but that pissed me off after 2 days.

My dongle arrived yesterday.......just off to have a play.

+1 for the rear DRL......barmy it's not standard.

EDIT - You have to pay £14.99 for the iPhone App if you want to change anything. Not many options extra but worth £25 all in to do the rear DRLs and for extra assurance of it being locked (even though mirrors fold)
