Of course, we know that it gradually developed to be more reliable and convenient in order to keep pace with demands of comprehensive car owners.
And here I would like to share my experience with you on WIFI Ford VCM II diagnostic tool. I run a smart garage locally, and I tried to find to an auto diagnostic tool with great practicality and flexibility. Exactly, Ford VCM II is in accordance with my requirements.
I have used V86 Ford VCM II diagnostic tool to test on more than 5 Ford models, it worked well whether for fault code reading or clearly. But what satisfies me a lot is WIFI function; you can imagine how it functions in a workshop. Additionally, it is extremely use-friendly and can easily walk the user through diagnostic process.
What functions do Ford VCM II have?
I once conjectured the reason why it is quite popular among automobile technicians and personal car owner is because the powerful function it projects. VCM II supports DTCs reading and clearing, guided fault finding, programming and installing ECUs (including PCM, ABS, Instrument Cluster, SRS, Fuel Pumps and more), recording live data-stream and playback functions for Main ECUs, and other functions.
Ford VCM II diagnostic tool shows perfect combination of both powerful diagnostic functions and flexible WIFI function. So what do you think of the deveice?
