I bought this one recently and it works with VCDS-Lite. So functionality provided depends on whatever VCDS-Lite gives you.. I can check and clear codes, change some settings etc.

Take a look at this: Ross-Tech: VAG-COM: VW Passat B5 Info (http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/passatb5.html)

The Ross-Tech site is a bit confusing - it says that VCDS lite won't work with CAN-Bus vehicles. I thought that VAG uses CAN-Bus :confused:

Not doubting you, jpflorez - I just want to confirm it works with late model VAG cars.

It's all good I doubt myself a lot! It seems that 2003+ vehicles have CAN-BUS (Ross-Tech: VAG-COM: CAN-Bus Information (http://www.ross-tech.com/vcds/canbus.html)) but mine's 2002 so it works on mine. I assumed BrettD also has a 2002 from his sig..
