Default Anyone use Shadetree Software Prodiag?

I know most people use a laptop for VAG-COM to scan their car.

I wanted to know if the ProDiag on a Palm unit is just as good or not.

My ride just threw a CEL and I don't have a VAG handy and I hate asking people to use theirs.

I always have my Treo 650 with me so keeping the diag cable in the car is a no brainer. I just wanted to know if the ProDiag actually does a decent job or not.

TIA for any information/opinons.

Default I love it, keep an old Palm M500 in the glove box with it

only thing that doesn't work quite as well is logging multiple measuring blocks, but otherwise I've found it to be an excellent alternative to VAG-COM (which I also have)

Thanks for the info but why would you want to log multiple measuring blocks?

Default OK.. thanks for the info as I had no idea what you meant earlier.

So is the ProDiag pretty easy to use?

According to their site they have a newer version 'ProDiag HD' and I'm trying to figure out what the differences are.

Default HD is overkill unless you have a shop...

it's a ruggedized Palm running Pro-Diag that has generic OBD-II functionality as well as VAG specific stuff. quite a bit of $$$
