VVDI2 or OBDSTAR, Which is better for VW MQB?

There are two options of MQB dashboard odometer correction: Xhorse VVDI2 and Obdstar tools (Obdstar X300M, H110 or key master, etc.)

So, how to chose and which one is better?

In details…

Both the Xhorse and Obdstar tools are confirmed to work no issues for VAG MQB.

VVDI2 VAG MQB Immobilizer & dashboard: confirmed!

Obdstar H110 VAG MQB dashboard: confirmed!

Obdstar X300M VAG MQB dashboard: confirmed!

Obdstar key master VAG MQB dashboard: confirmed!

But, they’re kind of different, esp in price, function and car list as well..

Xhorse is much more expensive than Obdstar tools but Xhose supports MQB immo and dash while Obdstar supports dash only.

Note that Xhorse VVDI2 is the only key programmer can be used for VAG MQB platform instrument immobiliser. Instrument with NEC35XX (Continental/VDO)

VVDI2 works perfect in BMW and VAG key programming.

Have it if BMW key programming is required.

If not, go for Obdstar tools – cheaper but working good, support more MQB types

If you need a tool for VAG immo and dashboard, go for Obdstar H110;

If you need a universal odometer correction tool, go for Obdstar X300M;

If you works for a workshop, go for Obdstar key master and you’ll never look back.

Ps. Obdstar X300M and H110, at the same price, depends on your need.
