Was looking around on ebay for an error code reader and saw this,

Has anyone used this?

Could be s**t but looks kinda cool, see whats going on the fly with your engine.

What readers are people using there seems to be loads and I just want to see if there are any codes on mine and clear them if there are, see if they come back and go from there............

 

if you've got an android phone use 'torquepro' app...

 

Iphone im afraid, although there is a samsung floating round the house somewhere.........

Does the torque pro app read and clear error codes?

 

Yes and I think there is a similar app compatible to the Iphone.

 

The app pictured in the listing is dash command. I Have it it works well. Only gripe I have is that the communication via Bluetooth is too slow. Great for data logging and diagnostics but real time info is about 30 seconds too late

 

+1 for Torque (Pro or the free 'lite' version).
I believe there's an issue with iphones being shi'te and the Bluetooth not able to cope with working as, um, Bluetooth. I've never tried, wouldn't want to. Works great on a proper phone though! As said Bluetooth is a relatively slow connection but fine for light logging, error code reading/clearing , 0-60's...
What car do you have? It won't work on Classics (they're not OBD compliant) but ecuexplorer does and is a better tool. Its free and used with a cheapo ebay Vagcom cable. Can also use SSM free with that cable too.

 

I also have this but it doesnt work on my p1...its a 2001

 

yep wont work on any classic regardless of year. there not obdII compliant

 

Where does the vagcom cable connect to on a classic?

 

You need the wifi one to work with the iPhone , Bluetooth for android

 

The "OBD" port under the steering wheel.
