SOLUTION OF MY BATTERY!

scanner to help me change the brakes and rotors on my 2016 VW Passat. The scanner itself is solidly made and doesn't look cheap, but I didn't like it. I followed the instructions that some people kindly posted in their reviews and the scanner didn't do anything. It processed the command I tried for EPB but kept saying "cannot start" and then froze my dash and drained my battery (like my car was having a seizure). I tried it three times and the same thing happened every time. I would have to constantly jump on the machine to get this scanner working. Then I checked to see if it was needed and updated and the site is NOT user friendly AT ALL! I connected the scanner to my computer and was unable to download the new version to the scanner. The scanner screen remained blank and I could not open the scanner file on my computer. All in all, invest in a better scanner! The motto "You get what you pay for" clearly applies to this product. Invest in a better scanner and save yourself the hassle. I needed someone with a $200 scanner to help me and this scanner got the job done with no issues and drained my battery. I hope my review helps you make a decision. I will definitely invest in a better scanner because I enjoy working on my cars and a scanner saves me a lot of time and money.
