My understanding is none of the non ross-tech vagcom leads work with 704.1 as the leads now have a inbuilt dongle which automatically activate the software when plugged in. For a non ross-tech lead you will need to use version 409 or 311. Any 16 pin vagcom cable should do for the MK4 Polo you only need the can bus version for the MK5 Golf generations onwards
