VAG com 908

Compared with the 812, the 908 has its biggest advantage. It lies in that the 908 can match Airbags under the protocol of UDS while the 812 can only read code, erase code and do coding, and it cannot match airbags. Pls check the comparence in the following pictures. The icons of 908 are activated while the ones of 812 are not.

The new models that the VW launches now or in the future, such as New Bora and Lavida, will all use UDS protocol. Besides, the VAS5054 in the market nearly doesnt support UDS protocol.

In one word, if you want to match Airbags of new models, the 908 is your only choice
