[V8] VAG-Com Twin Com

[dsaad at icehouse.net]

Generally speaking (because I really can't answer your question!)
If Ross Tech wrote their software according to "the rules" and only used
standard methods to access the port, you should be just fine with a USB dongle.
The quality of the dongle will also make a difference so get a good brand name
one that fully supports all features and functions of a real port.
Bottom line though is just go get a good dongle and see if it works.
