Hello everyone, I'm looking to purchase a diagnostic system. Is there a way to run a full-featured VAG-COM on a Pocket PC?

"Not just these kinds of diagnostic devices, but a proper VAGCOM system, or are there even complete sets with Pocket PCs available for purchase?"

Please provide information.

"Thank you."

best regards, tom

The genuine VAG-COM software is only available for PCs. However, there are similar alternatives. It looks quite cool, but I haven't tried it yet.

Then there are also handheld devices. I have the ones listed below:

http://www.auteltech.com/vag405.htm
http://www.vchecker.com/vchecker-vwaudi-reader-english-version-p-30.html

"They all fall within the price range of around EUR 100. The VAG405 is by far the most beautiful device, but unfortunately, it can only read and clear ECU information and fault codes, and a few special functions like resetting the inspection and oil service indicators. Both the VChecker and Memoscan seem to be based on the same hardware, and the software is also similar. The functionality is almost like VAG-COM, roughly equivalent to versions 3.11 to 4.09. They can't keep up with the current VAG-COM versions. Neither of them works with the RNS-E or BT FSE systems. Otherwise, everything I tested seems to work. However, they are useful for KWP1281-related tasks. If you're interested, I might be willing to part with the Memoscan."

Greetings.

Hi,

I would probably lean towards one of the new, very small but fully functional laptops.

"Asus Eee or MSI Wind (or the Aldi equivalent). These devices offer the significant advantage of 'in-flight testing,' meaning you can display curves while driving, and often detect inconsistencies in the data based on the curve's shape."

I don't know what the f*ck it was.

I also run VAGCOM, or VCDS, on an Akoya mini, and it works well.
