Pros

Used to change out brake pads on 2018 vw tiguan sel. Plugged in the diagnostic tool and analyzed our car. I also use it for my 2011 ford ranger although it does not have as many functions for the ford as it does for the audi. It's awesome that the met...  Read More

Good instruction booklet and simple to use. Since the vd700 came out these became more reasonably priced. Also comes with a charging cord — the mini b male charging cable.



Cons

Would not retract the rear electronic park brake. Ruined passenger seat. Do not buy this for your vw, audi, bmw or anything german.

This is advertised as a */skoda reader. This said it works on vw passat's, it does not. The support is non-existent and the manual is awful.

Quality


Good live data very nice display quality.


Self explanatory, easy to use and made the job easier to complete, best investment i ever made.


Attempted to use the fake cable with vcds lite and couldn’t get it to work.


Turns out it's not that difficult of a job however you must have a tool to release the electronic parking brake.

Price


I would definitely recommend this product, price was reasonable as well also.


I highly recommend the product, especially at the discounted price that i got it in amazon!


I got a quote for some crazy dollar amount from the local vw dealer for changing out the rear brake pads on my 2020 vw tiguan.


The tool of course went on sale the day after i received mine and is now 17 bucks cheaper.

Shipping


The only problem i had was during delivery.

Competitiveness


Would recommend as a cheap alternative to china made cable which is getting returned.


I purchased a more expensive unit that couldn't reset the maintenance due light on the wife's audi q5 with no issues.
