CCCR96 1 Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) With these things you do get what you pay for with features/ functions etc.. Personally I have a WiFi (OBD 2) dongle bought off eBay connected to the "Dash Command" iPhone app (available on iPhone and iPad.)(You can also purchase Bluetooth dongles if you have an Android phone/ tablet.)It works perfectly well to check read and clear most DTC's (but it won't do everything.) You can also buy a version of the VAGCOM/ VCDS cable on eBay and use the free VCDS Lite software.I personally don't have this so can't tell you how good it is plus you have to plug it into a laptop/ computer. HTH. Edited December 7, 2014 by CCCR96 Link to post Share on other sites
vr6guy 29 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 I bought a vag com scanner for £18 of eBay. Just plugs into OBD, has book of DTC's/trouble codes which tell you meanings and can erase them as well on engine, SRS/airbag, ABS and transmission. It's about he size of a average mobile phone with a lead of it. Link to post Share on other sites
