Hi guys, could anyone on the forum recommend a good diagnostic scanner, thanks

Depends what you want to do and how much you have to spend. If you only work on Volvo's and want the ultimate set up, you'd go for Vida + dice.

I have an Autel one as I use it on other makes too. It's obviously not got all the functionality of Vida, but it does do SRS, Traction/stability control, EML and electronic handbrake, was about £100 and has proved very useful.

Or if you just want basic OBD2 engine codes, you can pick a generic one up for about £20.

Hello,

Where did you get this from and can it be updated to V2? Tho I see at icarsoft the V2 looks a different machine anyway. Is it really plug and go? If so I could go up to £50 if it helps.
