Forscan, Ford-IDS or F-Super....plus an ELM327. Just remember the Mk6 is "NOT" OBD-II compliant.

Might sound a silly question but did you install the drivers ? should have a port driver, mine didn't come with reader I had to download it separately.
I bought the cheap F-super 2 and once driver was installed works fine with forscan, also the chipset in my f-super shows as elm327 so must be similar.

I haven't had a chance to play with it yet but I will over the weekend. thanks to everyone for the help
