I believe the cable is the right hardware and then if you can find complete copies of the ISTA files (rather than just the ECU, SGDat, and Daten folders) you'll have the software that needs to be flashed in (software for recent cars is several gigs even compressed), but the actual software flashing app is different from all of the tools discussed here. You'll also definitely want to have your car battery connected to a wall socket because the flash process takes several hours and you don't want your battery to die in the middle of that.
