I bought one....

as a toy and that is what i use it for.

real condition rolling road. basic 0-60 and 1/4 mile timings & ECU fault monitoring.

Although it does have a lot of prrofesional uses - after all it does the job of the 1551.

The cables are available on their own if you just want to use the free software (see pm). I payed £130 for the whole bundle.

hmm not sure as there is only 1 peice of software.

maybe it to do with the cars ECU?

eg some functions work on some cars and not others.

this sounds like it - looking at the stuff at the bottom of that page.


KWP-1281: The original VAG Diagnostic Protocol. Used on all diagnostic-capable systems through model-year 2000.

KWP-2000: The "new" VAG Diagnostic Protocol. Used on a few 2001 ABS systems and some 2002 Engines, Transmissions, and Airbags.
