Zed devil Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 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. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?sbk=1&nav=WATCHING&itemId=261165757858 Are they accurate and capable of viewing codes and resetting? Thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stutopia Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 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. http://iobd2.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed devil Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) Ok thanks. Does that work for JDM? I emailed this seller on eBay and he said it will work for a 350z JDM. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?sbk=1&nav=WATCHING&itemId=200927736091 Edited September 19, 2013 by Zed devil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooch Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 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. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Maxiscan-MS309-Diagnostic-Scanner-Reader/dp/B005N5HN7A/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1378401529&sr=8-3&keywords=obd2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zed devil Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whazza22 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Obdmate on eBay. I have a thread about it. It will work with jdms. Did you get the OM500 or OM510? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
