Default Laptop software to read ecu live data?

Hi All,
I want to read the live data for my Exhaust value timing AVCS for both banks. Any ideas what software can do this? I have an ELM 327 OBD or I can buy a lead etc... Any apps on android (most can only do ignition timing) ?

Thanks in advance, as I have an issue with my Exhaust AVCS all over the place on my 2009 STI hatch.Please read my post in engine section if you think you have any clues.

tactrix is the manufacturer of the programming/flashing cable and the ECUFlash software that goes with it. For just read only the vag cable will work once you get all the romraider logging software configured on your laptop. It won't work with an ELM327 adapter though - best you could do there is the android torque app with the SSM plugin and one of the expensive bluetooth adapters.
