You need a correct serial to IEC interface cable (which I assume your
friend has).  The IEC end is the OBDII diagnostics port.  I am not sure
where it is on the 96 A6, it may be located under the dash on driver's
side, or possibly in the rear ashtray (look for a cover with the engine
with lightning bolt circle and pop it out).  At least that's where it is
on the A4.
