There is an Aussie distributor (Brisbane) listed under Oceania. Cant find it on their web site but they have a phone number.

I just had a look and it will do SRS engine transmission BCM and ABS depending on the BCM level. It will do up to VE and yes it does Fords up to 2015. I just sent them and email and they have replied and the problem is fixed. You should be able to contact them now.

The1 just remember they are Chinese and their is a slight language barrier. I have been corresponding with them for some time and was thinking about becoming a distributor but it's impossible to compete and make a profit when competing with the Chinese distributors. As I said it will do from VR on up to VE but what you are looking for I don't have enough knowledge to make comment.

if you go into the bcm option most scantools will have a security area where you can read codes, program keys etc. Also each option will have test functions, like turn indicators on/off, etc. Alot of the cheaper tools are just code clearer and some can also read sensor data but that's about it.

Ok I have done some testing and here's the results from my VR

In the BCM area it will
display trouble codes
Data display
Theft status
Miscellaneous tests
Read key and radio codes. Saing this the code it gives me for the radio is 5 digit and the radio only needs 4.
Program remote keys. I have never done this and don't have a blank key to try.
Some of these tests did not work but I suspect it's my BCM or the BCM level. Mine is level 1. I haven't been able to read any data from the ABS for some time and I assume it comes via the BCM.

With the engine I could
Turn the fan speed on/off. This is the aircon fan because the car is V8 with viscous fan.
Turn the air con clutch on/off
Turn the fuel pump on/off.
I could also change my air fuel ratio up and down. This feature I think is good when diagnosing rich lean mixtures.

Hope this helps
If there is someone in Sydney that would be able to test and tell us more I am more than willing to spend some time with them to do a more comprehensive appraisal.
