Hi Alan:

I remember you from the old Quattro list.  Nice to see a familiar name pop 
up.

Congrats on the new car.  My son has one and it is a great vehicle.

Sadly my perception is that this list is now all but defunct.

Sorry but cannot help you regarding your questions.

I have a version of Ross-Tech which I bought years ao which I do not find 
particularly user friendly, but you appear to be more tech savvy than me so 
hopefully will find it worthwhile.

Good Luck

John Corbs
