OBDEleven or VCDS

VCDS for pure coding and good diagnostics.
Cheap ELM327 in case you want to monitor with something like Torque (although, wireles live data is just slow, especially when you want another RPM dash).

Then there are the quite expensive alternatives as OBDEleven and Carista (From what I've heard, not all coding functions are available, depending on the vehicle, you can ask the developers to add stuff for you. I'm not sure which app it was, but there might be costs involved for codings, which is totally free with VCDS).

If you are looking at modifications to the 8Y, then you won't be able to do any since Audi are now using SFD protection on all 2021 models onwards. And even some 2020 models.
