I put the new diff in the VY today so had to reset the speedo. I am used to using the Tech 2 to do this but decided to use the Vident. It wasn't difficult but did require me to estimate the PPK and then adjust by checking the speedo readings against a GPS.
The Tech 2 would have been a better tool for the job as it calibrates on the run using live data. The only problem with the Tech 2 clone is that it doesn't work with TIS authorisation or the cracked TIS Global when it comes to security and programming.
I'm in the envious position now of having both and have been able to write it off against my business.
If I only had one choice the Vident would get my vote.
I know that there are others out there using different scanners. I'm looking forward to hearing about their experiences.

Mate l had a look at key programming with the i400.
The only reference I could find in
the user manual was P18, 3.9 immobilizer and they called it
"anti theft key matching"
When the ignition switch key, ignition switch, combined instrument panel, ecu, bcm or remote control battery is replaced,
anti-theft key matching must be performed. When I got into the menu l was asked to provide a 4 digit code. This was provided by the local former Holden Dealers, at no cost.
As the duplicate key wasn't up to spec that's as far as I got.
I think that they could have gone into a lot more detail in the user manual and the menu itself to walk you through it. To people like yourself who are clued up on this stuff, it would probably be a walk in the park, but l found it to be quite difficult.
Have a look specifically at that immobilizer menu, interested to hear your opinion.
Cheers mate.
