but it just says error connecting all the time, my port behind ashtray seems very loose, is there any advice on how do I know it works?
Helping it connect(followed instructions)

Anything really guys..... Assuming the one above is compatible?

The OBD scanner only gives the fault codes. It doesn't reset them. You will need to find out what the different codes mean as well.

Hi mate

I know but it wont even connect to the car..... It says error connecting when I plug it in so not even got that far... Does it have a fuse for the connector in the car???
