Default Anyone tried this diagnostic cable?

Hi all, before I purchase one of those OBDII readers I saw this. Has anyone tried this cable? It looks like it's the business but I'd like to know if it goes in depth enough to pinpoint sensor problems such as MAF, O2 etc...

Got mine, doesnt work, tried to get back to the seller, no reply, paypal dispute has been opened, still with no reply from them, so ebay are looking into it now.

Might try the above lead, although does not work on ford and the likes

Thats too clever for ours lol
The cheap VAG leads work all day long for Logging and fault finding,
You will need a Tactrix to change anything on you ECU.
