Default Brake Fluid Bleeding with Phoenix systems

Has anyone used the Phoenix systems V12-205 bleeder? I'm thinking of using this to put in some ATE super blue brake fluid when I change my pads for an easy one person operation..

I'm running ATE as well in all my cars, and no those vac bleeders won't work on the rear of the GS because of the electronic booster.

Would a presure bleeder like the Motive 0101 work better? If I use the Phoenix System if I pumped the brakes 30 times with the engine off would that work?

No it will not work. I'm thinking your not aware of how the gs's nitrogen assisted electronic abs/vsc integrated booster works, and those tools are for vacuum boosters.

Search some past brake related threads, I've detailed the procedure a couple times here.

If you don't have the techstream to enable air bleed mode in abs/vsc ecu then you need to manually do the bleeding.
