But even if you own multiple vehicles of different brands, Carly can be a great all-around solution. So I thought I'd ask here as well, at least to cross-check the reply from Audi (which I will also post here). The potential disadvantage of an external diagnostic device is that the functions may be limited and may not receive updates. Once connected, the adapter can communicate via Bluetooth with an associated app on your smartphone. He will walk you through the basics of using VCDS scan tool, including coding, fault codes, MVB, Basic settings, adaptation, Graphing, and more.

We’re also satisfied with its ability to scan trouble codes from all car systems (other universal scanners don’t). Our OBDAdvisor’s tester team put nearly 14 different scanners, both universal and specific, through 2-week testing.

You can access the diagnostic history of any vehicle at any time to identify trends or recurring issues. For the purpose of this discussion the term, " OBDII Scanner" includes any diagnostic device that can be used to interrogate and report on the status of the electronic system of the Mk1, Mk2 or Mk3 TT by means of the OBD port. We do not guarantee compatibility for vehicles produced before the official implementation of the EOBD standard. An OBD scanner, such as the Carly Diagnostic Adapter, is a device designed to communicate with a vehicle’s on-board diagnostic (OBD) system.There's of course an easy solution there :cough: bootleg :cough: but that comes with zero support and you also won't get the latest version and features. With its combination of performance, comfort and reliability, it has set the bar high for the luxury class and remains a sought-after vehicle on the used car market.

We’ve tested both Carista and OBDEleven, and we are surprised that OBDeleven has more customization options than Carista. If you are a VW or Audi owner then this is a must have tool to keep under the seat or in the glove box.

While I prefer VCDS for the coding stuff, there's no denying OBD11 is way more convenient and something you can have in the car no matter where you are. Brake Pad / Shoe changes on vehicles equipped with EPB’s (Electronic Parking Brakes) MUST be carried out using a Diagnostic Tool to correctly re-calibrate. After reading this in-depth review, I’m sure you can find out which one is the best scan tool for your VW/Audi.For serious diagnostics, evaluating measurement blocks, adaptations and basic settings, VCDS is the only way to go.

With this device, you can get diagnostic information directly from your car, detect problems before they lead to serious repairs, and even personalize some of your car’s features.

These faults are detected by the calculators or ECUs mounted on your car's engine and displayed on our tools. Remember how we said you could keep the Carly Universal OBD Scanner plugged into your car’s OBD port at all times? Otherwise the OBDeleven app and ui is just plain better and easier with the pre-canned 'apps' allowing you to do 90% of what VCDS offers without the risk inherent in doing your own work to code and recode modules by hand. If the Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) needs to be changed, many vehicle’s require the new sensor to be calibrated. Audi’s On-board electronics, for example, are becoming more complex and versatile, and every new car has a myriad of control units that are in charge of the various interconnected systems.Audi, one of the most famous and respected automotive brands in the world, has a long and interesting history. There is always the risk that the vehicle has hidden defects or even the mileage has been manipulated. It offered a variety of engine options, including gasoline, diesel and even hybrid versions, and featured Audi’s famous Quattro all-wheel drive system. The free version is limited to fault finding and clearing faults only but will carry out a full scan of all systems and reports on fault codes which can then be looked up.
