Hi all,
I'm looking to start using VCDS with my Polo 6r but I'm confused about the required cable.. I found this:

eBay Australia: Buy new & used fashion, electronics & home d (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/110595210885?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_6054wt_952)

But will that work? Will it allow me to change things such as Alarm Beep etc..
I noticed there is another type of interface cable called the HEX-CAN, will i need this instead?

The interface cable is what has me in circles at the moment.. everything else I have my head around.

If you just want to mess about for a couple of hours, I'll lend you a proper cable for a a six pack of Coopers Sparkling.

That's like the oldest version of VCDS going. In fact it is VAG-COM which got dropped about 2 years ago.

PM me your number, if you want to talk, I'll call you back.

I work at the airport and can probably meet you somewhere on Gympie Road or something.
