Have ordered one. Will share review on receiving it.
Is VCDS superior to obd? What more functions, features does it have?
VCDS stands for VAG-COM Diagnostic System and it is primarily used for diagnostics and adjustments of Volkswagen Group motor vehicles, including Volkswagen Passenger Cars, Audi, Bentley (limited), Lamborghini (limited), SEAT, and Škoda automobiles.
Cheap Chinese OBD scanners has basic support for VAG-COM like error check but some doesn't work properly. If you are a professional or own a car diagnostics and tuning shop then you may look for expensive scanning devices. For personal use, a cheap Chinese OBD scanner is enough.
Expensive OBD or VAG scanners support flashing and configuring ECU, key alignment (Immobilizer), engine tuning, sensor reconfiguring or pairing and many more. The software used in these scanners is subscription based so it has to be renewed or updated yearly or two mostly via OTA and some scanners access internet for online validation before you can use it.
