So far very happy with the Vgate Interface. I think one Main Point is that it seems to be one of the Only Adapters that support FEPS.
Works great for me – Forscan updates the Interface Firmware with one click – NICE and simple-
Vgate is cake, I was probably done turning off my DRLs within 15 minutes of opening the package.
What a ForScan compatible interface set correctly:
You can get very good results for module scanning, live data, modules coding and rewriting certain functions.
You will get much better results than using ELMM327 or J2534 interfaces.
