Buy your own can bus scanner?

[Umai Naa!!]

Autel MD802 All Systems is what I have at the moment.

It's the best value for money one they have. It's not bi-directional, nor does it have an oscilloscope function, but it does the job. Was around $400 from memory, and came with a while heap of brand-specific adaptor plugs.

It'll scan and clear codes from all modules, and can reset service lights, and even change the intervals on VWs.

I have one of these. It's okay for the price. Scott

V-Checker V202 - KWP2000 + KWP1281 + CANBUS

Looks like the latest version. Picks up faut codes and do coding, active monitoring, coding etc although instructions a little limited.

I had completely forgotten about my posts and the advice here. Based on the info I can still see, would this still be my best option now for reading and clearing codes for a 2010 T5.2?

Has anyone tried one of these VW-specific scanners from souped.com.au?

They look suspiciously cheap for AU$80, but you have to select your make/model, so maybe they can make money because your scanner only works for a single vehicle?

It's almost worth a crack at that price... Unless anyone has tried one and had them not work

Do you know anything about the website souped.com.au?
I can't seem to find any reviews.

I'm having trouble quoting you in the other thread but for $300 you might as well go the whole hog and get this.

Pretty sure the other things won't do the adaption etc.

Thankyou for that. Does that price only give you the licence for 12 months and then you have to keep renewing it?

Pretty sure it is forever but only covers THREE VW Vins.
The next one up covers you for TEN.

I just found them in my Googling but something about the site makes my spidey-sense tingle. The scanners they sell are branded "Nexpeak" which doesn't appear to have a website and Googles in a very suspicious way too...
