OBD2 Reader?

[Zed devil]

Hi all,

 

Looking at purchasing a code reader to save going to a garage in the event of faults.

 

Seen the following on eBay and wanted thoughts on it.

Are they accurate and capable of viewing codes and resetting?

 

Thanks all

I got one of these as I thought it was a bit more fun than a straight code reader. Works over wi-fi rather than BT, the link can drop to my iphone after about 5-10 mins from time to time, but works plenty long enough to view fault codes. However, not had a real chance to test it in anger as I've not had any fault codes yet.

Ok thanks. Does that work for JDM?

 

I emailed this seller on eBay and he said it will work for a 350z JDM.

And this has worked on everything so far and the info it gives is fantastic....... Have a read of the Tech spec on the website.......

Like I said the one I have works fine and clears faults and reads logged faults, for £14 posted its worth a punt on JDM's.

Why is it worth a punt. It wont work with a jdm.

I have just purchased one of these and they seller said he knows for a fact it will work with a JDM.

 

Will soon find out 😳

It won't work on a JDM. I fell for it and purchased one.

I did say get an Obdmate but who listens?! Not my money to waste tbf.

[Zed devil]

Half the price and was ensured by the seller that it will work.

 

If it doesn't then I will get a full refund so worth the risk.

Did you get the OM500 or OM510?

No one said previously it wouldn't work with a JDM. If someone has posted that I wouldn't have said it was worth a punt?

Sorry I think you misunderstand me. It won't work with JDM because UK cars use OBD2. Japanese imports don't use this system they use JOBD. Now JODB and OBD2 don't speak to each other. I have many readers at home but only my JOBD reader will read the imports code.
