After a bit of Googling and looking around the forum it seems the question of 'connecting' to the Phase2 models via the OBDII port is asked on a reasonably frequent basis, with often unclear answers.
So I took a punt on a cheap (13quid) ELM327 cable from eGay and a copy of ProScan4.0 I had - and SUCCESS!
I had to tweak the values a little in the settings, but its connected and will read & reset common DTCs (although not the body computers) - it will also monitor lots of live values and can record for analysis.
It also has a nifty dragstrip function, which can record 1/4 miles and 0-60 etc. I presume its pretty accurate as all the data is coming direct from the ECU. I have set it up correctly with the wheel sizes, weight etc.
I can imagine with a copy of VADIS this could be very useful.
So, as a quick, cheap and easy way to connect up to a P2 model, a cheap ELM cable and a copy of ProScan will sort you out.
I hope this helps someone at some point!
