Summary

CG FC200 is 200euros less than Multi Prog, but FC200 requires annual subscription that costs nearly 200euros per year. If it expires, you can’t use it anymore.

If you have FC200, don’t move to VVDI for a few more types of ECUs by paying 700euros; if you don’t have FC200, go straight to Multi Prog, you’ll save a lot.
