2008 Volkswagen .:R32 Polar Fis vs Can Checked

This video shows the difference between Polar FIS and Can-Checked units. Both units are suitable in their respective capabilities, but it is up to the end user to determine what tickles their fancy. However, the Can-Checked unit only gives you four parameters regarding DTC, while Polar FIS gives you the Can-Gateway list followed by an (*) to provide you with codes similar to VCDS if you should have an issue in those modules. Based on this matter, this is my only gripe regarding the Can-Checked unit. In addition, they are also in the future development of the Haldex control, but they don't provide me info on the 4wheel drive DTC to show if I have a Haldex issue on a DTC scan, so I lean more on Polar FIS for this which is unfortunate at this time. Maybe a firmware update will rectify this.
