OBD Reader
« on: 01 November 2013, 12:18:10 AM »
Hi All!

Just wondering what brand OBD reader/scanner seems the best fit for the 9-5 Aero.

How much information can I get from a reader?

Any suggestions?

There are a few.  Mine will read the OBD codes for the engine.  Including "pending" codes which are the ones that have to happen a number of times in a fixed period before the CEl comes on.  It also reads live data. And it can clear codes.

I got it from eBay for around £35 a year ago.  it's an AUTOP D900.

I bought one a couple of weeks ago for my 9-5 Aero, see this thread for the discussion:

I've already used it in anger to read and clear a code, and it works fine.  ;)
