It is fully controlled by ECU, why do you need to adjust.  If it is not around 700rpm, then you have another problem.

There is a small adjustment available via Tech2

it's hovering around 500rpm and is causing the car to vibrate at such low rev. How do i adjust via tech2?

right, in that case you need to work out why its that low, as ecu will try to keep around 700rpm.  I don't think (could be wrong) that ecu will allow you to adjust that low.

Tech2 - from memory its under either Additional Functions or Programming

If you have access to a (real) tech2, look for engine DTCs, and also live data, checking what desired rpm is, compared to actual.

You aint got a carb ;)

2.0l petrol, idle controlled by Idle Control Valve, itself controlled by ECU.  Do not adjust the screw on the butterflies, you will bugger up the idle.
