If you're a VW specialist, then the VAG-COM Laptop based scanner may prove to be the best scanner for the money available. This scanner, unlike a number of other tools listed on this web site can only do 1 line of vehicles, the VW/Audi line. However coverage and capability is excellent, includes the ability to read codes, display data PID's and handle security issues. IN most cases this VW application is as good as, or even better then the factory tool! Current vehicle coverage includes all early 90's to 2008 VW/Audi models.

PC Retriever
VW/Audi service can be well handled by the ProgRama PC Retriever. This multi-car scan tool allows users to pull codes, read data PID's, perform bi-directional controls and resolve security issues on this line of vehicles. One of the better features of this scan tool is it's ability to display PID ID's and not have the user deal with VW 'Data Blocks' on a number of the more common PID's. This tool can also be configured to work on Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Volvo Vehicles by adding additional cartridges.We highly recommend this tool to VW shops.
