Maybe cheap OBD reader will be sufficient for you (engine fault codes only)

Nefmoto reads codes...

Keep in mind though that all the other scanners, nefmoto included, only read engine ECU codes. AFAIK they are not capable of going into all the other modules and doing the read out unlike vcds that can

Not necessarily true.

afaik there is no config for me7.1 or at least not on the monoblock site. Unless somebody gets it to work (I couldn't a while ago when I tried) , the software can't really be considered a viable replacement to VAG-COM... which leaves vag-com the only option.

AFAIK this site has a cracked vag-com (older version) that works, it also has other goodies for B5 platform like full bentley):
