Professional capabilities at a DIY price
The VDIAGTOOL VD30 Pro is a powerful tool that, while priced as a DIY tool provides capabilites that mechanics at any skill level can use to diagnose 'check engine' (OBD2) errors and clear trouble codes. As a DIY'er who owns multiple 100K+ cars, i found the VD30 PRO to be very helpful keeping my cars running.The tools is compatible with OBDII vehicles and covers most vehicles manufactured since 1996. It is also updatable so I expect that it will cover newer model years as they come out as well.I really liked the color and graphical user interface (UI) on the VD30 Pro, which is better than the mono and/or text-based UI in this price range. The UI is intuitive and user-friendly. It was easy to navigate through the tools menus to access diagnostic information, even without the need to consult any manuals or videos, and clear diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) when needed or after a repair is made.The unit is well constructed and feels sturdy feels capable of withstanding daily use. The cord connecting the unit to the OBD2 port was more than long enough to sit back comfortably in the driver's seat while reading a code and monitoring the dash lights to aid in diagnosing (or correcting) an issue.The VD30 is an invaluable tool for anyone wanting to repair their own cars, or to know when a problem exceeds your ability, and provides more features and a much better UI than most code readers in its price range. I know i will get a lot of use from it, and hope this review helps you as well.

Lots of info in the palm of your hand
The VD30 PRO code reader is a handy tool to have around. The VD30 PRO communicated well with all my vehicles. The cable for connecting the code reader is more flexible than some others l have used and is long enough to place the reader under your leg for a test drive. The VD30 PRO gives you access to pages of live data and will graph any four data points for a visual comparison. The screen is bright and easy to read. In fact it looks so good that I forgot that it is not a touch screen a couple of times. The large buttons make the menu easy to navigate and there is a button beep to confirm the button was pressed. The beep may be disabled in the settings. I had no problem connecting with any vehicle that I tried it on. Even though I have a large bi directional scanner in the garage the VD30 PRO will be a great tool to travel with it won’t take up much space and will provide tons of information if you need it. This will also be good to loan out to friends or relatives I might not feel comfortable loaning may other scanner to. The tool functions well and will provide a lot of information for the price. I don’t think you can go wrong having one of these.

Life Saver!
This thing is actually a life saver. It works very well and is super easy to use. Plus it is able to turn the light off. Best $25 I’ve ever spent.

Excellent OBDII scanner for the money
For the money this is an excellent little OBD scanner for the home DIYer. I tested it out on several vehicles (2002 Silverado, 2014 Camry, 2019 Mustang) and it was able to auto ID all of them. It of course has the standard code reading and clearing ability. But it also features I/M readiness, which is very helpful in emissions states. You can view and graph live data from a variety of inputs.It also has a couple features not often seen on budget scanners like a built in battery test, a code definition library, and ability to view freeze frame data. The scanner connects shockingly fast.It comes with free software updates and is easy enough to do using the included USB cable. Just go to the website and download the utility.

Surpassed expectations!
I bought this around a month ago and it surpassed my expectations for the price!Pros: It is compatible with far more cars than most of the other scanners. Has firmware update capability so you don't need to replace your tool every now and then, just go to the website and update your tool. Has a big bright screen which is visible even in the sunlight. Can connect to your pc for data transfer and printing. Have a dedicated DTC button so you can perform diagnosis with less key presses. Straight forward and easy to use. Displays detailed information about every code, so you don't need to Google the code numbers. Graphic Live data charts are very comprehensive.Cons: Body doesn't seem really rugged, would be fine for a car owner but in a workshop environment it may not be able to take the beating or would need some kind of protection cover.

An excellent reader! 100% Accurate for me!
It works very well! Diagnosed my engine light perfectly! I bought the parts ahead of time, mechanic installed the parts, engine light is off! Saved big bucks on the part and on the diagnosis labor charge. Worth it!

Small money But Huge help
This tool VD30 PRO code reader is a great buy and has a lot of features in a small device. You can scan codes, search codes, clear codes, and more. It also has a information section available providing you with details to what the codes mean and possible repairs needed. (It doesn't recommend repairs. It only list possible failures within the vehicle. Ultimately it will need to be looked at by a professional.)This is great for many people needing to scan their cars quickly rather than go to the shop or is unable to go to the shop right away. Check engine lights can be scary for many but with this you can scan and find out if it is something that should concern you or if it's something that can wait until next month when you can save a little to go to the shop (not all check engine light means disaster).The VD30 PRO code reader functions well and will provide a lot of information for the price. I don’t think you can go wrong having one of these.Highly recommend this Little Tool
