Default ProDiag Vs. Vag-Com.

Basically, the main reason why I'm getting one of these devices is to clear codes when I swap my chipped ECU back to the stock one.

What would work better?

I have neither a laptop or a Palm device, so I prefer the ProDiag since palm devices are cheaper and more portable.

Opinions please.

Default That's exactly why I got the ProDiag...to clear DTCs

Of course, owning a Palm but not a laptop made my decision easier ;-)

Doesn't look like it allows you to clear codes....just read them.

So can you clear all the codes the dealers use to check if you're chipped?

Does it leave a signature code like the previous Vag-Coms?

Please do! if it does, then I'll get one from you! (I'm assuming you work at Avalonmotorsports) hehe.

Send me an e-mail with more info about it if you don't mind. Thanks.
