Is the Vag-Com still top gun?
 

Got a friend who is getting into maintenance and tuning on his VWs ( just bought a turbo Passat, has a Jetta, etc.) and asked me what is the best tool, Ross-Tech Vag-Com? OR... now that there are competitors out there that claim to be better and cheaper is Vag-Com still the best analyzer for the amateur who wants to service modern VW/Audi cars? What would you tell him to buy?

Ross Tech is the source for Vag-Com and Vag-Com is still king, AFAIK

Thought so....Danke!

agreed...but for those that want to do quick and simple tasks...the VAD is equally as good
 

for that. plus, you don't need to bring a laptop no matter how tiny to do the job...a palm works great.
