OBD2 readers

[Jay.S]

Are they worth adding to the tool collect for home mechanics?

Seen this one seems to have good reviews:-

Or any other cheap ones which do a good job.

We have one at home which we've used to clear a couple of fault codes on the old family car.
My friend uses a bluetooth adapter and the Torque Android app for clearing codes on his EP3.
Personally I use my bluetooth adapter and phone for twatting around with a fancy rev counter, throttle position monitor and shift light.

I have the exact same one is that.

Its Ok for reading fault codes and getting rough information.

If i was to buy one again i would go for one that can also read ABS / Airbag faults

I've been looking at the Bluetooth ones for the iPhone etc.

Can anyone link me to decent box and app?

 

[jam.]

I gave you one with the TT jay!

Don't think there are any available for iPhone - something to do with bluetooth on iPhones only being for headsets etc I think. I only found out once I bought a bluetooth ODB2 plug. Duh.

I've got the one you linked above, and it does the job fine.

I know mate stupidly I thought I wouldn't need it so left it the TT when it went. Doh!

I have an rstuner with the OBD2 module? Why dont you guys with RSTuners just get the extra module

Think I've found it for the iPhone:-

Combine this:-

With a App called iOBD2 which is free.

Some of the others look great but they work out pretty expensive. I may just go with one in the first link but it would be good to check coolant temps etc etc
