Has anyone used the Vespa Diagnostic Scan Tool and Software? I was wondering how useful it is. The system costs about $300.

Hopefully all the dealers on this site have used the PADS system. Though, do non-dealers have access to downloads on the Piaggio site even if they have the hardware?

$300 is a lot of money considering it's desinged to be used by dealers. And as you're not a dealer, you won't get any software updates etc.

Get to a dealer with one and they should help you out (for free of course).

Edit: It's an interesting bit of kit. But only in the right hands.

[Do not by the scanner off scooterwest. Just my opinion.]

A month back or so, their website said 2007-current GTV under which scooters the scan tool worked with, so I ordered one, it doesnt work, the return policy is less then desirable.
So, it was a bad experience, an expensive mistake. Even Technoresearch will not return emails or calls.
(that is my sob story)
Email us if you're having an issue with the scanner. We would be happy to help you get it working or swap it for the correct version.

Unless you are a dealership it does you no good, you can't get updates for it without access to Piaggio network and you need to be a dealer to get access. So it's a waste of money to you.

To clarify, our scan tool works great with 2006-2014 models, but not the 2015 and newer ABS models.
