Tools listed in our website do not break copyrights as they only are constructed and work similar to famous tools. Names are used for easier identifying only.
So these are Chinese copies of the products advertized...... They "work similar...." Hmm...
I can't see their support and back-up for Vag-Com being comparable with the likes of Derek at Ilexa. The tool is only part of the deal; support is crucial.
Software is not sold together with tools.
Without the, copyright, software they're just ornaments. Buying a scanner is only the tip of the iceberg; constant, expensive software updates are needed. The manufacturers probably make a loss on selling the tool - it's the regular £800 for the updates that pay the bills.
Regional limitations on access to updates from the likes of the dreaded Launch X-431 [itself just a load of cynically blagged dealer's software] mean that your shiny copy will be useless in no time. Many manufacturers produce individually-coded updates that will only install on one serial-numbered machine.
So; in a nutshell - just one more scanner company ripping-off the gullible beginners. There are several hundred others just like them to waste your money with too....
