OBD II code reader

Can anyone recommend a good code reader for the Crossfire? In the UK!

Android tab or smart phone, BT dongle (mini is best for XF), and Torque Pro. Several threads go deeper.

Have you looked at the UltraGuage ?
It does code reading / resetting and is also useful the rest of the time.
I've had one installed for 2 years now, wouldn't leave home without it.

Re: OBD II code reader

I have this one.

WiFi WLAN ELM327 OBD2 Car Code Scanner for iPhone iPod iPad diagnostic scan tool | eBay

Works great on the iphone and ipad when used with an app called DashCommand.

Easiest way to read and delete codes. Great temps and air flow and MPG if your into that sort of thing.

Re: OBD II code reader

Zak,
Thanks, it looks good. I have a question, I really want a code reader that also reads auto transmission, ABS and air on etc codes, not just engine.
Does this do that as well as the other Gucci functions ?
I have a VAG Reader for my Audi that reads all codes.
