I can also list the advantages of VCDs original, I think can also do MQB platform and MLB-II since the hex V2 was produced. I doubt the clone vcds can support these though.

1. Coding with descriptions
2. Adaptations with descriptions
3. Map channels of adaptations
4. Easy DTC scan wirh full diagnostic control unit scan and list and save.
5. Calibrations are also easy to perform. If one in doubt can read the ross tech guides.
Etc etc

I may just say the reverse with the above argument.

VCP is advanced but I myself find all 3 diagnostics useful. I cannot code with VCP if I am retrofitting A or B or C can I?? Need coding descriptions.

If I would choose to owe just 1 original diagnostic tool I think that would be VCDs. The second VCP and the third vas5054a. I guess it depends what you want to do with it. An advanced user needs all 3. So basicly there is no right or wrong opinion. It depends what you want the diagnostic for. If you want the diagnostic for firmware flash or activate keyless entry or open the electric parking brake for servicing rear brake pads with 1 click yes you will get VCP. EPB opening for brake pads servicing can also be done with VCDs but is not a one click function but 2 clicks. So anyone who is debating. what is best for these functions is a waste if time. Both are as good.
