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. |

So, it was a bad experience, an expensive mistake. Even Technoresearch will not return emails or calls. (that is my sob story) ⚠️ Last edited by Scooter West on UTC; edited 1 time

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