Holy shit it doesn't work better... what it allows you to do is CLEAR your existing codes and therefore be able to REPLICATE the issue and possibly diagnose it at this time.


If you are flashing a code at this time and are in limp mode, you can change all you want but it'll stay in limp until you CLEAR the code.


This saves you the trouble/time/money/headache of having to go to the dealer and pay the fee they charge everytime you need to CLEAR the codes from your ecu.


It's a cheap purchase that in the long run ends up saving quite a bit of time and money if you plan on doing your own maintenance that won't need a trip to the dealer everytime something decides to throw a code.
