I have the Topdon Artidiag 500 and it's worked on a Mitsubishi Outlander, Skoda Fabia, Toyota Aygo. It does work on the airbag SRS, ABS systems and sorted a fault on the Outlander that had all of the above lit up on the dash, it also found the Aygo power steering fault and seatbelt problem.
I does live diagnostics as well on the things I've looked at like ABS sensors etc.
A very handy tool.

Looks like i need to add the Fiat 500 to that list this morning, she's just driven it through a flood and all the EML's have come on

Topdon/Launch/Autel is where it is at now. Diagnostic wise... (value for money).

Chinese steal the software from the west - take it back east - back write it - then sell it back to the west - from the east.

China has a differing view on copywrite than we do!

I believe snap on are having a spat with autel over code theft.

I believe snap on are having a spat with autel over code theft.

Couple of local garage owners near to where my workshop is have bought into Snap On diagnostic systems (to be honest they are not allot of good and they are expensive).

It is unreal how when connecting a Chinese Launch/Autel scantool on to any VAG car - just how alike the screen you are looking at is to VCDS - it is the same.

-----------

Diagnostics and scantools will all go one way because of this copywrite theft - it will be J protocol passthru into the providers servers.

Even the manufacturers are getting data/code stolen from them.

I don't know about new snap on stuff but the old one came with little chip cards you had to plug in for different cars and had to pay for.

Both the guys I know with garages have gone to autel from snap on
