See video on Amazon.com I love to screw on private cars, I bought this handy scanner as an alternative to existing diagnostic notebook. The device is intended according to the seller specifically for the vehicles of the VAG Group and can in addition to the engine control unit to read out all other devices like ABS / ESP, airbags, instrument cluster, etc.. According to article description everything in plain language (English). But this is not so !! Simple errors such as "Coolant Sensor G62" may be issued only with the error number. (17664-035). With a list from the Web, the error can then be interpreted. This will cost a star !! Well I thought the dealer advertises so with the possibility of missing out on the device via Internet update. Since my PC but has no OBD connector, which is difficult. While it is noted that it is somehow not a USB cable is, but according to device packaging would have to be accompanied by a serial cable. So no possibility of update's !! The cost !! the second star The device does not have its own power supply, but draws its energy from the OBD connector.
We tested the unit on NEW BEETLE TDI 2002 Golf 4 1.6SR 2003 Golf3 Cabrio 1.8 66KW 1996. Live data from the measured value blocks are not displayed.
For convenient diagnosis you can not avoid VAG-Com or VCDs. For the used car buying the scanner is sufficient but because it is very handy. Unpack just once and quickly connect !! But you should have the error code list always with you, or better than PDF on the smartphone, as found by me about 70 pages long.
For delivery, the seller has left a few days, but is still OK.
