Great tool. Easy to use!

This tool works as promised! And it's all cheaper than the prices of most other OBD-II scan tools with EPB break-in capability. I just used it today to change the brake pads on my daughter's 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan. It has 25,800 miles on it and I was shocked when my daughter told me she heard a crunching noise from behind. I was initially a bit suspicious of changing the rear brake pads because of the EPB motor. Until I found this tool for about $55 which as the description states had an EPB retract function. I tested the tool, very easy to use. Just plug it in and turn on the car key (but don't start the car engine). Selected diagnosis V/A (stands for Volkswagen/Audi). Make sure the parking brake is released. Selected to replace the EPB brake pads and pressed enter, then I heard the EPB motor spin and release the brake piston. Brakes changed on both rear wheels. I bled the brakes a few times to put the brake pistons back in their original position and then selected a pre-made brake swap on the tool. The EPB motors rotate and stop in the normal position. Have driven the VW and the brakes are like new again, no grinding. This Ancel VD500 tool saved my life! and about $200-250 against shipping to dealer.
