Advice for VAG Tool

[kacperoooni]

Hi guys,

I need a RELIABLE tool for decent price for my own use (about 10 VAGs in the backyard ) 2004-2010 MAX. I'm interested in removing CP and immo, PIN reading etc. Ofc I'm not aiming for original ones because as I said I wont do it commertially. I was thinking about FVDI (SVDI for now?) but I read that it isn't very good. What would you propose? I have good soldering skills so I can make rework if published. Thanks in advance.

Cheap and RELIABLE ,they do not go in the same sentence at all, but like alkazav say, fvdi 2014 or 2018
SVCI is waste of money , dont buy

FVDI 2018 is way to go

Thanks both of you guys for help. I meant decent reliability. Ofc I wont expect this tool to be 100% reliable, but also I dont want total crap. That's sad that it isn't (at least public) rework solution for fvdi like for kess or ktag for example...
