USB VAG Commander 5.1 OBDII Diagnostic Cable for VW, Audi, Seat, and Skoda lets you perform diagnostic work on your car without paying a mechanic.

This Commander 5.1 diagnostic cable allows you to connect your car directly to your laptop computer. The software interface lets you access data from your car right on your computer screen. You can view live data straight from your vehicle's engine. You will have full access to your car's diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and see their full definitions as well as the location and type of problem, so you won't have to spend time looking up the code's meaning. You can also clear all generic and some manufacturer specific DTCs. You will also have access to your vehicle's OBDII Freeze Frame data (which is captured when the vehicle's on board computer detects problems). Your local mechanic charges you a lot for each of those tests, so get this cable and start saving today.

Getting started with this diagnostic cable is easy. All you need is this VAG cable, a computer, and a vehicle. No extra converters, connectors, or tools are required. Plug one end of the cable into your vehicle's Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC), which is usually located within easy reach of the driver. Plug the other end into your computer's USB port, and install the included software. You're now ready to access and interact with your car's on-board computer. Do-it- yourself has never been so simple!

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

• Can inspecting my car's data on a regular basis improve my safety?
  Yes. Did you know that when your vehicle's on board computer detects certain problems, it captures a "Freeze Frame" of the data when the fault was detected, assigns the relevant fault code (DTC), and stores this data in its memory. But it will not turn on a warning light until the same problem is detected on two trips in a row. Using this diagnostic cable, you can access your vehicle's stored data and resolve these problems before they occur again. Don't wait for these problems to happen two times in a row before you get this scanner.
• Does this cable work with my car?
  Please see the list of compatible vehicles above.
• I'm not a professional mechanic, can I still use this cable?
  Yes. This cable and the included software is designed to be user friendly and easy to use and understand.
• What else can this cable and software do?
  For all the great uses of this cable, you can visit professional auto maintenance forums on the web, or even better, buy a sample and try it yourself!
