I think you mean OBD (On Board Diagnostics).  Anyway I have not come across
any for the Palm Pilot and certainly not one that would access all the
proprietary features of VW and Audi cars.  For our cars, the only game in
town are:
	VAG-COM	http://www.ross-tech.com
	Baum VDS-Pro http://www.baumtools.com

Both of these run on Windows-9x based PCs and laptops, not Palms OS
nor Windows CE.  Of course there is the "real" factory VAG 1551/1552 and
the fancy VAS-* scanners for big bucks.

Anyway, your '95 car should have OBD, not OBD-II.  But it doesn't matter,
all of the above works with your car.
