Basic functions like reading & erasing of error codes can be performed on all OBD2 & CAN-BUS vehicles. It will perform advanced functions on VW, Audi, Seat & Skoda vehicles like reseting service lights on the engine, ABS, Airbags, transmission, radio, climate control, instruments, immobilizer & more.
The VAG SCANNER VAG405 Code Reader is specially designed to work with all VAG VW, AUDI, Skoda, SEATS including those equipped with the newly released Controller Area Network(CAN) protocol. Though it is small, it is capable of retrieving same information as large expensive scanners. If your car's Check Engine Light is on, you need this device. This VAG Code Reader is a handy device for car-owners, DIY customers and especially professional technicians that need to read VAG diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from the on-board computers (ECUs) of 1990 and newer VAG based vehicles. With this smart reader, you are able to immediately self-troubleshoot the cause of the "Check Engine" light wherever you are. The Code Reader will also enable the user to erase the trouble codes and shut off (reset) the check-engine light as soon as the vehicle is repaired.
For those VW/AUDIs with old-style 2+2 Data Link Connector (DTC), you need to plug into a Audi/VW 2+2 OBD adapter.
