Well almost - waiting on delivery. So what is the first thing I should do?
The vehicle is a 2016 R-Line.
The item is from eBay so I hope it is OK.

Order a REAL VCDS from Ross Tech website.
You dodged a bullet. Ebay ones are clones and will cause missing files in different modules. I found out for myself when I went the cheapo route.
Thankfully after I bought a genuine interface the files were restored. Seller also refunded my money.

But this route doesn't allow you access to tech support as you are not the registered owner.
Now how would I know that?
All depends on your comfort level and capacity. I own a 2nd hand dongle and have never needed to rely on tech support, etc..... forums and reading has supplied all the info I've required. Self learning and experimenting with stuff also plays a huge role on what you are able to do with it.
In almost 20yrs, I've never needed "tech support" either.
You can still sign up and register yourself as the new owner for full access to Ross-Tech support and website but there is a fee involved
Thanks, I didn’t realise there were some more hoops to go through. The local dealer does not have the 3 VIN or 10 VIN available - sold out. Oh well it’s for the good of the car, a bit like polish.

Where are you located ?
In the Deep South - Melbourne. But I have just purchased one on eBay from the US with 2 VINS left. The car delivery has been delayed and is due on Friday with the HEX V2 due 12th July.
The Touareg appears to have the euro type round plug for the trailer connection with a Redarc controller.
It took a while to find the small round control knob as it is mounted in the rear cargo area on the right hand side. Smart!? Nope. I hope it’s not too hard to run to dash.

Hi Forty you just need a data cable to run it the manufacturer will specify the rating. Ask the seller of your vcds to send you a photo of the serial number and check with Ross Tech they will confirm vins and if it's genuine.
great advice
That’s a handy tip. Looks like they are a serious organisation.
