thanks for that.This is the way I look at it:
If I am understanding what you are trying to achieve correctly then all you want is something which you can use to activate VIM on as many cars as needed, as many times as needed (for a fee? if so get liability insurance), well I think my thoughts on ODBeleven are widely known on this forum so I am always going to suggest VCP but you need to look at it this way:
- VCDS = Diagnostic and coding modification workshop level tool
- ODBeleven = Diagnostic and coding modification enthusiast level tool
- Vag Can Professional = Dealer Level tool
One thing to note... anything that is dealer level has the potential to be dangerous if you do not know what you are doing and VCP is not user friendly, there is no english user manual. VCDS can break a car but broken can be fixed. ODBeleven in my experience might as well have a button labeled "break car" lol. VAG Can Professional can DESTROY a car!
- VCP + VIM + VIM Manager = approx £500 initial cost + 70€ yearly support fee every year after the first year = Unlimited use of all features, and there is infinitely more than VCDS and ODBeleven added together several times.
- ODBeleven Pro + Device = 55€ = Unlimited use of core features but... VIM = 100 credits = 15€
Sounds to me like you want ODBeleven.
no.. I'm not using it for just VIM. I'm seeing if there are more things I can do with it. VIM is the first thing I'm interested in doing but not the only thing. looking for module codes is another, just not sure if it can do that.
the non English is going to hurt. so how do I read it if its not in English?
