OBD2 Reader

[Welshy1988]

Hello all

This has probably been answered several times, but looking for advise on a really good OBD2 reader.

Not the ones you can get for £20 from ECP or ebay.

I mean a really decent one, maybe £100-£250 mark which can ACTUALLY read codes and reset the codes too

(Wife has a 2014 V40 D3 XC and I have a 2014 V70 D4)

Thanking you all

Having those 2 cars at that age, I would advise you get a laptop that has Vida installed and comes with a Dice Unit.

Some one is selling a setup in the sales section of the forum.

Go for vida/dice on a laptop , as it has far more fault info and reset functions than any generic OBD reader will ever give you . If you have other makes of cars in the family you could also install DELPHI diagnostics software this covers all makes with a lot of functions . I also recommend a separate laptop for diagnostics , so as not to have conflicts with other software .

These are great if you prefer something that doesn't need to be plugged in to a laptop.

Oh yes, I was looking a the iCarsoft CR Max as we have a couple different car brands in the household, some great reviews for this too

*UPDATE*

Bought the CR MAX, wonderful bit of kit, can access nearly all area of the car, helped me no end and diagnosis and systems functions.

Used on both 2014 V70 D4 and V40 CC 2014

Highly recommend!
