I want to have one OBD scanner for most worldwide famous car models, no need cover truck models. I only want to do basic OBD diagnosing, not programming anything.A better alternative to Autocom, would be VDM Ucandas.
It claims one-year free update at official website, and works with newest cars up to 2014.
I got one on spent about 280USD, it arrived after a week, it came with:
1pc x VDM Main unit with OBDII Cable
1pc x USB Cable
1pc x CD Software
1pc x Carrying Bag
1pc x for Honda Adapter
I
installed VDM UCANDAS on Win7 successfully ,wobd2 engineer claims it supprort Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8. No WP8/Win8 RT, easy to
install, no need to activate. WIFI connection and Bluetooth supported.
I
tested VDM UCANDAS successfully many car models after 2000 year, like
2012 honda cr-v, Jeep, Dodge, a part of cars up to 2014 year. I had
problem with Renault Fluence, Saab 93 and Ford, I thought VDM can’t
cover these cars, later I learned they are before 2000 year, VDM can’t
cover.
VDM UCANDAS mainly for OBD diagnosis, support key programming, SI reset, sensor setting for a part of cars.
I have ucandas they recently roll out the 2015 update for GM and it’s
very up to date on Ford. I scanned 2014-2015 Fords before with it. Its
somewhat ok on SRS.
Additional Tips from wobd2 engineer:
Ucandas supplied by wobd2.com is not available with firmware update, but only software update online, the online register service is contained in the disc.
If Ucandas performance becomes poor because you did firmware update, contact wobd2 for tech support.
