I have a 2005 passat-wagon and I do own a laptop.

I think I'd rather by a cable that hooks into the car and then runs on software on my laptop rather than a dedicated device.

What do y'all recommend?

What are you trying to do with it?
If you want to read/clear trouble codes and see the values of your sensors, you can try my setup.

I purchased one of these for less than $10
Super Mini OBD2 OBDII ELM327 V2 1 Android Bluetooth Adapter Auto Scanner Torque | eBay

Then I purchased this app for my phone for $5

You can use it real time while driving and it has digital gauges. I have AFR, Boost, Coolant temp, and a few more displaying on my phone placed on the dash.
