i know my car has got an obd-11 plug, its a 2004 wrx but there are that many different types of scanning/reset tools available

can anyone confirm if any tool that is obd-11 compliant will work on my car or has it got to be a specific type?

any help appreciated thanks

 

you need an ISO compliant unit, not the , er, othere protocol which vag and bmw use. So long as its ISO, any unit should work. Software can be downloaded off the net fairly readily

 

thanks for the info

 

I bought this one, Cracking piece of kit for the money & has already saved me £100 in Code reading Fee's on My Mrs's Mg
