Review: meh! - it works but not as expected or advertised, found some codes and some others were not found untill taken to a garage. vehicle: VW golf mk6 r with cdl engine.
Review: In the past I have borrowed the Ross-Tech VCDS which is a very advanced tool from a colleague who is now working elsewhere, so I needed something for myself and less expensive. I was a bit cautious when purchasing this device because the spec only mentions "Oil Reset" under the features list, and there are so many devices that over promise and does not deliver at the end of the day or you have to pay to unlock features. Resetting the oil interval can be done in the car MMI, so if it was only able to reset the oil interval it would be of no value to me. What I need is a device that could could reset all service timers, this means Long Life oil service and the Inspection due interval. After a bit of research and a question to the seller I was convinced that the VD500 could do what I needed so I decided to give it a try. The VD500 device delivered the needed features right out of the box for an Audi A3-2015. Through the intuitive and simple menu system it was possible for me not only to reset the timers, but also to select normal or LL service intervals and it took me 5 minutes to do so. (without even reading the manual) On the contrary the Ross-Tech VCDS procedures to reset the service intervals is an involved task on EU cars. With the VD500 it was much more intuitive. The Ross-Tech VCDS can enable features deep in to the car software, for instance enabling newly installed Xenon lights, enabling a newly installed rear camera and so on, for such tasks I think the VD500 will come short. But if you are looking for an inexpensive and easy to use tool for resetting ALL the service intervals, retracting the electronic brake and reading out and resetting the most common issues in the car's systems, this is a great tool. It comes in a sturdy plastic casing with a rubber cover to protect it when dropped. Highly recommended.
