350Z fault code reader

[Dicky]

Anyone recommend a decent one?

[-Bradders-]

Use a snap on one on mine. Works pretty well.

[RobPhoboS]

I've got an orange thing from amazon, £15 - works fine for me.

[-Bradders-]

Theres a lot of obdll readers for about £30 on ebay which i've used in the past which i couldn't fault.

If you search there was a lengthy thread on this a few weeks ago

[Paddy78]

I also use the £15 one from Amazon. Works perfectly on the 350 and I've also used it on a friend's Megane, Astra and Saab to read and clear various faults for them.

[Paddy78]

Well it's now £4.90 from Amazon... so what a bargain!

That looks awesome! does it display like it shows?

[Paddy78]

You need some kind of software with it too. I use Torque for Android (But it's also available for iOS). Plug it in, pair it with your phone / tablet via Bluetooth and way you go.

[un1eash]

Unless hacked apple hardware will require a more expensive wi-fi obd2 adaptor as they don't talk to Bluetooth.

[-Bradders-]

Yeah for IOS you need a wifi one, which is around £200 plus the software is quite expensive too.

[un1eash]

Did you mean to say £20?

[-Bradders-]

Nope my friend chris paid stupid money for his one? ill find it, it was either the reader was £200ish or the software was! crazy price.

[Hooch]

I used one of those Bluetooth ones and it linked up once then never again. The cheap wired ones with the displays work fine.

 

Not on an import though as they don't use OBD2

Thats mine and it works great. Also on an Hyundai i10 but not a Lexus LS400. That may help someone but probably not...

[psion]

Any of you guys using one on a HR?

[cmck13]

I use the maxiscan ms309 same as hooch above, had mine 18mth no issues with it at all.

[Dicky]

I'm confused (goes with getting on a bit) so the £4.90 OBD2 needs additional software to Bluetooth with my iPad , but the maxiscan mx309 works just by plugging it in and reading off the code? Is that right.

 

[Hooch]

Spot on, the Maxiscan has its own screen. The cheaper bluetooth one needs to connect to a bluetooth device. If its android you can get the .apk file and install, legally of course.

[Dicky]

Thanks Hooch I'll order the Mexiscan then cos I can't be bothered with these software driven things, they always give me grief!

I just bought the 4.90 one and the software was free on android
