Hi Walter, yes I have used many of them previously. I currently have 3 Volkswagens and they work well, but you must choose carefully for your car. For VW’s, I use the “OBDeleven” (Google it) device paired with iPhone or iPad. The OBDeleven OBD2 scanner is designed specifically for all VAG cars (Volkswagen Automotive Group - VW, Audi, Skoda, Bentley, Lamborghini, Seat branded cars all work with this one). I also have some cheap eBay generic (<$20) which will work on just about anything with an OBD port I believe.
What car do you have? They are useful to track live data - I watch exhaust gas temperatures while towing my caravan but ALL engine parameters can be tracked live.
