VAD Mobile...An Essential Accessory for Today's Cars
With the growing complexity of today’s vehicles, owning a diagnostic tool is a must for any enthusiast with the desire to maintain, modify, or improve the performance of their car.
The electronics systems have changed so much in the past few years that even journeyman mechanics familiar with the VW and Audi brands struggle to keep up with the changing technology. The number of control modules in today’s cars has nearly doubled in the past 7 years, and new modules, such as Tire Pressure Monitoring, Headlight Aiming, and Navigation are appearing consistently in nearly every model.
Although VAD is not a replacement for professional services, frequent visits to a local independent workshop or dealership for diagnostic services can be costly. Every enthusiast is well served to arm themselves with a tool that can supply them with a better understanding of their car.
A great example of this type of diagnostics tool is VAD Mobile
VAD Mobile provides a unique alternative to today’s conventional diagnostic tools. Unlike generic OBD-II scanners, VAD provides detailed VW-specific fault code data, up-to-date Measuring Block value data, current module listings, and access to factory procedures such as module re-coding. And unlike PC-based tools, VAD offers the convenience of instant boot up time, self-charging, and portability and versatility, in particular from our newest Bluetooth-based offerings.
How detailed is the capability you ask?
While many VAD users use our products to perform simple tasks like resetting a service indicator after an oil change, or interrogating a check engine light, there are many other functions VAD can perform. In fact, an alarming list of repair procedures actually REQUIRE a diagnostic tool these days, such as changing the rear brake pads on a Passat, A6 or A8, or checking changing the DSG/Auto transmission fluid.
The re-coding and adaptation features offered with VAD are some of the most desired by the aftermarket community. A great example of the capability of a product like VAD Mobile Wireless was showcased in the recent build of the 2010 HPA Scirocco FT565. The VW Scirocco is equipped with one of the most advanced electronic systems available to date. With VAD, HPA’s technicians were able to:
-Perform Basic Settings on the new DSG Transmission
-Recode and calibrate the Haldex controller as part of the 4-Motion conversion
-Calibrate an added module for Telematics
-Code the instrument cluster module from EU to US standards
-Recode the central electronics module for US exterior lighting standards
What sorts of handheld devices are compatible with VAD software?
VAD is compatible with Palm OS devices, and can run on Windows Mobile Smartphones with the use of a Palm emulator. If you are not sure whether your device will work with VAD, e-mail us directly for confirmation.
