can anyone recommend a code reader

Featured Replies

hi chaps, my 1st time on this section of the forum ! i had a bit of a problem recently with my battery the weather got col lol any way i may have sorted that problem by purchasing a ctek 5.0 battery charger/conditioner 

for my 2013 superb 2.0L 170bhp 6speed auto dsg 4x4

i know that nearly everyone on here use vcds  or a version of it,

but can anyone recommend one of these plug in hand held jobbys ?

i know that it wouldn't do the job of a vcds kit but to be honest i just couldn't afford anything like that at the moment plus it would probably be to complected for me lol

so i would be looking at getting one of those plug in to the usb port and connect to a phone via blue tooth or one of the type you hold in you hand?

looking for one thats idiot friendly lol and on a budget ?

cheers kev 

OBDEleven and Carista are VAG friendly  mobile applications that use a bluetooth dongle. What is your budget?

not to much to be honest just done Christmas and sent for a ctek 5.0 i just didn't want to end up buying some piece of c--p that wont do the job if you see what i mean ?

one of my first jobs to do with one is change the servicing schedule to every 6,000miles  instead of every 10,000 like the othere owner has had it on, and code the stop/start so it dosnt come on so if you can recommend an idiot friendly one that will do as good a job as the bottom end ones can lol on a budget ?

cheers kev

thanks !

anyone els know of any other's so i can compare them to other makes and so on?

cheers kev 

If you want to do the things you've mentioned in your first post then the only 2 worth comparing are obdeleven and carista. 

 

I don't rate carista at all, numerous faults and bugs.

 

Both less than £100 but updates are free from Obdeleven or there's an annual fee for carista. 

 

Obdeleven is a serious contender against VCDS. Even the enthusiast cable for 3 VINs will set you back over £200
