Checking #scanner from TopDon - an universal diagnostic scanner for OBD2 equipped vehicles. To try it out I used two vehicles: Volkswagen Golf MK7 2.0TDI and Fiat Grande Punto 1.3, checked how the device reads and clears faults from ECU, how much information I can get from live data, how fast is the live graph mode, and other general features of the device.
