UPA or Carprog to buy?

[jodank]

Hi!
I'm thinking to buy one of these programmers, UPA or Carprog.
I'm highly skilled in uC programming etc. stuff but I move slowly to car electronic repair
and for that purpose, I thinking to buy some tools.

I'm not a person who needs some tool what is easy to use, something like "Green-Red buttons...".
I don't matter if I have to take out an FPGA or SMD package part for reprogramming or changing or whatever.

I like to use a tool, not to repairing, tweaking etc. before I can use them. :-)

Which tool is more stable and more trustful for working?

I'm leaking on Motorola uC programming.
This is the real case why I thinking to buy one of these tools.
And maybe if it is possible to use it incircuit, but this is not a priority.

Ok, I also thinking in this case to buy a super cheap china tool of course.
And also thinking to rework them.

So, what is your opinion to buy first?
UPA or Carprog?

Somehow I'm on the side of UPA but I don't have any experience on them both.

What do you think?

Thank you in advance.
My best regards.

Ok. I have bought a lots of eprommers in the last years, I would chose both of 'em with two other companions: X-Horses VVDI Prog, and Orange5.
Didn't bought carprog 'till today (but sooner or later I Will get that toy too), but we use O5 in most cases, VVDI is the second, UPA & XProg is on the third place, fourth is TLA mini. The others aren't used, except AK90 for EWS.
I hope IT was confusing enough

No no no...
This is not confusing enough, I would say you also don't lowe that kind of "PnP toys".
All that programmers what are in first place in your list are tools where the user must know what he/she did..

That is enough for me, I got the point.
I will for now buy UPA I assume.

Buy UPA original. It's not that expensive. You can then buy China adapters etc.

What is the price for the original upa and how big is the difference between the clone and original?

Thanks.

Hello,
the 2 are complementary, I upa clone 2012 and made me many services very happy. I also buy carprog in clone, but I had to rework it for it to work, and it does not work on all the software. I read that even the original does not work properly.
