Default OBD2 software/interface.

Currently have licensed version of VCDS-lite and a dummy usb lead to interrogate my Golf GTi.

However I would like to do the same on my Mk2 FRS and wifes Mini Cooper S.

Has any one got any experience with one of these?

or this software?

Ideally I would like some software on my netbook that I can code read my other above mentioned vehicle. Can any one recommend anything?

Or shall I bite the bullet and buy a scanguage 11?

Thanks in advance...
