Hi there, what would be the best code reader to buy, something good but not overly expensive. cheers

i bought an OBD2 to USB lead & use a program called PCMScan
forget everything else just buy a icarsoft 906 does everything from 96 obd2, and it clears all codes so far from abs to airbag and give live lambda info as well. £80 plus postage just pop it in your glovebox and no hassle, I have dice \ vida as well, but I use the carsoft on the p2 as first port of call if any issues.
Bluetooth one off ebay and torque app on a phone?
[QUOTE=Dangerous Dave;783622]Bluetooth one off ebay and torque app on a phone?[/QUOTE] If you have a compatible ECU and a smart phone then I can also recommend ELM327 (blue one about £4 off Ebay) bluetooth connected to Torque App on your smart phone. This works with my 850 very nicely, but I am running an M4.4 ECU from a later model.
thanks guys, so it looks like there are a few options to go for.
i have seen an icarsoft i906 mark 2 for £125....any thoughts?

[QUOTE=Craigtange;783627]would this work with a 2005 v70 r[/QUOTE] Unfortunately I've no idea, hopefully somebody on here can confirm either way.
[QUOTE=Craigtange;783627]would this work with a 2005 v70 r[/QUOTE] I know it worked with a 2003 S60R, although it was using the slower protocol as the CAN protocol wouldn't initiate (later found a workaround, something to do with a CAN wakeup command that has to be sent first) so the live data refreshes slower. The code reading works the same just takes a bit longer. Bluetooth elm327 readers are £5 to £10 on ebay and torque app is around £4 (can't remember)
