Just had my brother around very impressed by the maxidot upgrade and MFSW etc I fitted. He asked was anything like this available for his Honda, got me thinking is the fun VCDS affords us only available to VAG group cars or do other marques have a similar retrofit scene?

Hi,

 

Fairly new member, been lurking not posting.

 

Honda have "HDS" or Honda Diagnostic System. This can be used in the same way as VCDS.

You say that, but a lot of people get a new car and want to make a few tweaks, then won't use it again.

Being able to pay for a day's use of VCDS for £10 would suit me down to the ground.
