No. It will read SOME fault codes and you can clear them but you cannot code anything. It also wont reset oil/service lights without buggering up the interval. Yes, i have one (similar)

Just get a wifi / bluetooth ABD2 scanner and carista on your phone. Thats what alot of us on here use to change settings like anti hijack, unlock all doors on one press, needle sweep etc etc. It also reads fault codes.

Thats it  

Looking at this, any idea how much the subscriptions are and what works with/without the extra cost? (I.E. Have you just purchased a lump of plastic UNLESS you subscribe)?

they give you 30 days trial so if you dont like it then you dont really lose anything apart from what the device cost.
