Vag-com or caliper tool?
Do the C6 audi's use a caliper tool or vag-com to set them back?

I believe it requres VAGcom to retract the rear calipers. C6s have electronic parking brakes.

You use both of them. You first need to retract the drive inside using Vag com then use caliper tool (or large pliers) to push the piston in.
