Yes a lot of things are like this now (I'm an IT professional).

I am very tempted to have a go myself.

Have you any pics of the pulley where the adjustment takes place (car is still at garage so cant peek).

Also what kind of cable are you interfacing to vol-fcr with ?? I have just edited the above post, would that vag-com cable work ??

I notice that there are various versions of vol-fcr too, one for FTDI chip, one for serial and one for VAG-COM cable, what is the difference between the FTDI and VAG-COM one, AFAIK the link to the vag-com cable above is an FTDI chip based one ?

Also when you buy a copy do you get all 3 or do you have to choose one specific one ?
