iauto 702 pro adds extra several special functions, including Clutch, language change, seat match, Windows door, Turbo and PFP. 

Clutch:
Importance of clutch pedal free-play. Anything less than the correct amount of free play (or clearance) will result in clutch slip, because the pressure plate will be unable to exert its full pressure on the friction plate, clutch linkage adjustment to compensate for clutch wear.

Language change:
This routine is to change language displayed in the instrument.

Seat match:
A memory seat is essentially an electrically-adjustable car seat which can be moved into pre-set positions at the push of a button. As a result of the removal of the DCC fuse, the ‘driving position memory’ function of the driver and passenger side seat will be inoperative due to the loss of seat position memory stored in the seat ECU. The seat (position control) ECU may need to be initialized if the seat memory settings cannot be recorded.

Windows door:
When replacing door glass and after battery replacement on certain year, make, model vehicles special steps need to be taken in order to properly replace and reprogram the vehicle so the electric windows work properly, the door window glass position can be learned by executing this routine, which enables pinch protection and one touch up function.

Turbo:
This routine is required if the secondary turbo charger is replaced. This will learn the offset values for the turbine shut-off valve.

PFP:
1.The program can detect the Prime Fuel Pump function.
2.Air often gets into the fuel line when a diesel vehicle change fuel or assembly fuel system. This causes a vehicle to have problems starting, forcing you to ‘prime’ the fuel system to remove the air.

Vident iLink450 Service Scan Tool User Review

Here’s a sharing user experience about Vident iLink450 Full Service Tool of veteran controls engineer from the USA. Compared with Vident iLink400 full-system scanner, this scan tool is specially designed for professional technicians and vehicle repair shops with its main functions ranging from EPB, Oil Service, ABS & SRS Reset, Battery Configuration, SAS Calibration, DPF regeneration to TBA.

Concluded views in parts from Mr. Tesla from Impala Forums:

Part 1. Package
A few photos of the box.

The carrying case is a nice zippered one, included with the iLink450, along with a shot of the contents of the case. The CD contains the Setup program for the PC-based application. The cable is used to connect the unit to your PC, and the white gizmo is a micro-SD, which can be used to update the software in this device.

Part 2. Features
The Vident iLink450 is an excellent selection for anyone on a budget who is interested in a full-service scan tool. I was particularly interested in a unit that ‘s able to perform automated brake bleeds, and this one does have that capability and meet my needs. It can perform many functions apart from reading and resetting codes. The iLink450 is a standalone unit, but is capable of recording live data.

Part 3. Installation
It’s very simple to install application on my laptop. I inserted the disc, selected my language, and clicked Install.

A desktop icon titled iScanzilla was automatically created as part of the software installation. After completing initial startup of the application, I was instructed to create a free user account, which also doubled to register the warranty for my unit. Then I could update both the scan tool and the PC software.
