@Eric:
This tool is easy to use to do the basic code reading and maintenance reminder reset. It also has more technical features which vary depending on vehicle like testing all gauges and lights on dash, testing locks and alarm. Reprogram mileage if you replace instrument cluster. It can read every code on every system not just generic obd2. Codes for engine, transmission, air bag, abs, climate, locks and alarm, etc. It will reprogram remotes and realign HID headlights. Then if you get well versed in VAG there are so many things you can access or custom program with it.

Over a month period of time, our 2001 Passat developed an intermittent Immobilizer issue. Sometimes the key would be recognized and start, sometimes the instrument cluster would have a flashing yellow key and also “Immobiliser Active” message. Tried many things. Determined the instrument cluster (Half MFA) was the culpret and needed to be changed. Specific codes are needed to do this job. One option was to buy or rent VAG Tacho. This tool claimed to be able to retrieve those same needed codes. For $45, I figured I’d give it a try. It worked!! Already owned a registered version of Ross Tech VCDS. Between the two, I was able to get the job done………………………..
Special function/Read PIN code/Instruments/Enter/Enter/Enter till it’s done!
