Write your reviewA very good device in its price range with extensive features
09-01-2024Only needed for 1 notification so far
13-09-2021VW functions fine. OBD II is disappointing,only engine and transmission
03-08-2021Since I have a Golf 7 1.0 tsi for six months I was looking for a suitable hand scanner. At some point it's necessary to have it anyway I had a malfunction with my throttle body and like replacing rear brake discs etc, it's also badly needed. I used it right away when cleaning the throttle body and re-learning it and the malfunction was solved. Other than that, I set the service interval correctly. This really brings its money's worth. I find such a hand scanner much nicer to work with than, say, a vagcom.
30-12-2019It is an easy to operate device after Update it allows everything and just works very easily
22-11-2019expanded capabilities for the vag group
08-06-2018Good device, easy to operate and very clear. Handy is that the device recognizes the car. No need to search for the engine type of the car.
