I purchased the CD for my Audi 90. Have problems with the power windows.
The CD is useless if you are looking to fix something.
It is supposed to have the wiring schematics, but they are small 'snapshots'
of just the circuit in question. Not the 'whole picture', and they do not
connect, or refer to one another.
If you want to keep your car, you want to fix it too, then you will need the
factory books.
Good luck at $300 a piece.

I agree that wiring diagrams are tough to use unless they cover a large
footprint, but in my 80/90 Bentley, they have about 50 pages of wiring
diagrams. It's not that much more useful, from what I have seen.

I didn't find the electric window stuff that complicated, but I did
have to keep changing pages.

Which is no different than having the CD, and printing out the pages.
