We are writing to correct the claims made by Lockdecoders regarding their latest tools in an article on your site, which I repeat vebatim;

"These are made mostly of Titanium. We have released two for the VAG group of cars. Vag 1 for the earlier one up and one down up to about 2001 and VAG 2-3 up to 2012 cars with two up and two down including the new Anti Lishi locks."

The claim that the latest VAG locks are Anti-Lishi are untrue.

The Genuine Lishi 2-1 HU66 (Gen3) launched at the MLA Exhibition in 2011 was developed specifically to defeat these new locks as well as Pick and decode all the older versions.

Martin Pink commented recently as follows about this;

The Genuine Lishi 2-1 HU66(Gen 3) Twin Lifter picks all and decodes all VAG locks from Generation 1 through to the 2012 Generation 3. In fact I've just come in from a job picking and decoding a brand new unplated 2012 built golf , took 90 seconds to pick and decode , so much for lishi proof !

Perhaps you would print a correction so as to not mislead your readers.

Kind regards,
David Jennings
