Attention Audi owners!

Bought for my 2001 Audi TT quattro. At first I thought the item was defective due to the "Link Error" message. It turned out to be the K line. For those of you who own an Audi, if you have an aftermarket radio you will need to ensure that your wired adapter does not connect to vehicles via the K-line. After I cut the cable connecting to the native K-Line wireless connector, the VS450 worked great! VS 450 reads my car's OBD port and error codes. Recommended for Volkswagen and Audi owners.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Concise manual

Does not perform all declared functions.

Bought a scanner to extract engine codes and turn off the airbag light in a 2011 VW Golf TDI. When trying to connect to the airbag module, I kept getting the message "CONNECTION ERROR". The instructions say to check your connections and such, but an option is if that module is not supported by the device. I was able to connect to the motor module but not to any of the other 20+ modules listed in the menu. When I called up the engine trouble codes, only one of the 9 codes displayed was a number…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Nothing here

Continuous. Works to clear light and weak mode EPC.

Bought a few years ago. We still use it. more often than we would like (VW joy). Having your EPC light on is a quick and convenient way to reset the code and get your car out of emergency mode. The definitions may need updating but are still given a code number so you can find them on the ROSS TECH wiki. I keep this in my MK5 GTI. If you want a cheaper option (we all do) and you have an Android phone, grab an OBD2 reader with Bluetooth and download the VAG COM reader app. Works just as well and

Pros
  • Ease of use
Cons
  • There are new competitors

ATTENTION TO THE BUYER! NO UPDATES AND NO CONTACT WITH SELLER

Yes the product works just like any other $20 VAG compatible reader but no more. Absolutely, 100% impossible to contact the seller. Distribution and manufacturer LOST IN SPACE! The link from Revain to the supplier also leads to nowhere. Most pleasant…. "Free lifetime updates". They even include USB in the box. How pleasant! Unfortunately, there are NO INSTRUCTIONS on how to use the cable and where to get the update files. I assume because they don't exist. Like I said, if you consider this item

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

A very well presented reader!

My 2002 New Beetle accidentally had traction control problems and I have a Roadi RDT45 that I bought over 5 years ago that couldn't read any codes. Researching the VW forums I read that some items are only picked up by "high end" readers like this one or the much more expensive VCDS. The VS450 could read the code that Roadi couldn't and unlike Roadi the VS450 has a full screen mode that tells you what the code is instead of having to look it up yourself. To be honest, these are completely…

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
