USB Cable KKL VAG-COM 409.1 OBD2 EOBD Diagnostic Scanner BMW VW Audi Seat VCDS | eBay.

Here's a link to the cable I purchased and wanted to make sure it's the one I need to run tuneecu. Once I get my intake and exhaust put on I will be taking it to a dyno tuner and he will run that program but don't want to get there and have the wrong cable. Thanks

I don't know if that one works. The LoneLec is the one most recommended.

lonelec is pretty much the only one guaranteed to work. The one I use isn't lonelec, but I've never had any problems with it. Since you've already bought it, just wait till it comes in and see if you can get the ECU to communicate with the Tune ECU app / program. If it connects, it works.

I bought a generic VAG cable that looks like that one for my Sprint 1050 years ago. It works just fine on my Roadster.

Thanks for the help. I went ahead and order a lonelec as well. Don't feel like driving 4 hrs to the dyno and then the other cable not working.

I use the same generic cable from eBay and that works just fine too.
You just have to follow the tune ecu instructions to load the correct driver, the crucial part being that you disconnect from the internet the first time you plug it into your laptop so as windows does not take over and install a driver automatically.
