Hi Steve,

Looks just a really long Vag-com OBDII cable..... it times out, again and again (multiple shops, multiple attempts), won't make a connection. My VCDS has no issue whatsoever.

As for the tune with items tuned out to pass OBD and whether this will work, your mileage may vary depending on state and how they do it. Smart ones are looking to see if the code has been modified.
