What’s the best pc based automotive diagnostics software?

Posted on February 8th, 2010 by admin

I need to find the real time temperature of the automatic transmission of a VW Passat. Is there any tool other than VAG-COM?
I need to buy a tool which I can use in other OBD2, EOBD and CAN vehicles as well. Does VAG support other vehicles apart from the VA Group?
Help!

There’s a bit more to it than just the software.
You will need some cables and an interface unit.
I would recommend you do a search on ebay for ELM 327 and look for paying around £45.00 or there are some decent plug and go readers stand alone units from abroad that are quite cheap now.

    Don’t know if you need it to be PC based but there are some useful tools here http://www.ecufix.com/shop/ – you can also get them on ebay too.

    Some of these will work on all vehicles and are flash upgradeable from the Autel web site. I have one that I use and it has paid for itself many times over now.

    Hope that helps.
