[s-cars] ProDiag VAG tool and PDA

[David Mackintosh]

I'm interested in obtaining/playing with some sort of VAG scanning tool, and
the ProDiag software from shadetreesoftware.com seems like it would be the
most useful to me.  I don't already have a PDA, so would need to pick one of
those up as well.  I talked to Steve Eiche, and he suggested that I might
want to hard-wire an OBD-II connector inside the car somewhere so that it
could be used while driving.  He also suggested that a Sony SJ22 or SJ33
were good PDA choices due to the high-res displays, and available cheap
used.

Anyone using ProDiag have any additional recommendations?  Any tricks for
running the cable or locating the connector?  I do have a buddy with an R32
that I might be able to talk into buying part of it (it's probably way more
useful for his car).  If anyone has a good used PDA, cable, etc., I'd be
interested in that as well.
