Look horizontally across the VCDS Compatibility Chart until you find the Model Year 2006 and you can determine which interface(s) is required for that Chassis. Note that the Chassis Type “4F” is listed under that model. See the Model information Column for Audi to find the A6 Model. The 7th and 8th digits are 4F for Audi A6 (4F), the 10th digit is 6 which stands for Model Year (MY) 2006. The Chassis type will usually be found in these digits.
To find the Chassis Type for your car, look at the 7th and 8th digits of the VIN number.

Once you have purchased a VCDS Interface you will have access to the latest updates for your software and cable. The HEX-V2 interface connects your PC, Laptop or Notebook via a USB port and utilises the VCDS Software which can be seen in the pictures! Really easy interface to use that helps you along the way.
We use our own VCDS interfaces on a daily basis when we retrofit equipment for people who have purchased via our website! Now you can do it yourself!! We find that once you have used the interface once or twice you have covered the cost of purchasing the cable by saving you on costly dealer visits. Great if you want to fit a new VW Sat Nav System to your Golf or Optical Parking Sensors to the New VW Polo AW for example.
One of the biggest uses for a VCDS (VAG-COM Diagnostic System) Interface is the ability to code your vehicle with new features that it did not come with from factory.
