Last February, I almost threw the Mini-VCI down a well the fifth time in a row that it "lost communication with vehicle" 90% of the way through a brake bleed procedure that had to be restarted from scratch every time.Ironic, no? It would talk to all the fancy other ECUs in the car, but couldn't show me the engine rpm. It would just say "lost communication with vehicle". With the Mini-VCI, I could never, ever get the active data list for the engine control module.That really was helpful, and it has gotten me through all of the maintenance on my Gen 3 that I've needed to do over the last year. About a year ago, while I was feeling very indecisive about all the choices of cheap eBay dongles (mostly clones of the XHorse Mini-VCI) that might or might not work well with my car and Techstream, I was helped out by someone who had already been down that road, and picked out for me an old beater Windows 7 laptop and a Mini VCI and took care of all the installation for me.
