ProDiag, the VW and Audi Diagnostic Tool, Now Available for Handspring PDAs

BOULDER, Colo., March 17, 2003 - ProDiag, the most compact, cost-effective and full-featured diagnostic tool for VWs and Audis, is now available for Handspring PDAs. Shade Tree Software, LLC has expanded the portability of ProDiag to run on PDAs from all PalmOS(r) vendors, including Palm, Sony and Handspring. Additionally, ProDiag version 1.01 now offers dual data-line capability -- an important feature for 2002 and newer vehicles -- at no additional cost.

"Our customers asked for the ability to run ProDiag on their Handspring PDAs and we delivered," said Steven Eiche, co-founder of Shade Tree Software, LLC. "Supporting Handspring devices is important to our focus: to provide the most features, in the best form-factor, at the most cost-effective price of any VW- and Audi-specific diagnostic tool."

The newest version of ProDiag also adds dual data line capability. Newer vehicles with many Electronic Control Units (ECUs) require this feature. Without dual data-line capability, it is not possible to communicate with all the ECUs in the vehicle. While other VW and Audi diagnostic tools charge extra for this capability, Shade Tree offers it in all ProDiag adapters at no additional cost.

"We are focused on providing the best value for our customers, without sacrificing capability. We believe mechanics should have the features they need to do their job in an easy-to-use, affordable product," said Michael Durian, Shade Tree's other co-founder.

While offering the same capabilities as the official VW Group VAG 1551 and 1552 tools, ProDiag provides an easier-to-use interface, additional features, a more compact form and affordable pricing. Despite support for Handspring PDAs and dual data-line capability, ProDiag is still available for $249 at Shade Tree Software, LLC's web site, http://shadetreesoftware.com. Upgrades from version 1.00 are available at no additional cost to existing customers.
