USB VAG Commander 5.1 OBDII Diagnostic Cable for VW and Audi

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. Using compatible software, you can use this to 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 (DTC) 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 DTC's. 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 money 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 your favorite diagnostic software. You're now ready to access and interact with your car's on-board computer. Do-it- yourself has never been so simple!
