What are you needs for this tool? If it's just to check and clear engine codes, a BT unit and Torque app work equally as well or something more detailed like ultragauge.

Something like this

Something like this might be nice to have. I would like to see and reset codes from engine, transmission, ABS etc..

Does OBDCOM read and clear all trouble codes?
Yes, it reads and clears all trouble codes for Engine, Emissions systems, and Powertrain, including "generic" and manufacturer-specific codes.



What diagnostic protocols does OBDCOM support?
Really you don't have to worry about this, because it works on all vehicles automatically. OBDCOM supports ALL protocols: ISO15765-4 (CAN), ISO14230-4 (KWP2000), ISO9141-2, J1850 VPW, J1850 PWM

Hey Knightmare69, my cheapy Bluetooth unit died on me pretty quick. Do you know what brand or where you might have purchased yours? I'm in the market for a BT device... btw, the Torque app is the way to go... I used to use mine all the time on the Saab 9000 Aero...

I think most people get theirs from amazon or eBay. It's the one that's orange and blue with white writing.

I use a cheap $20 actron unit to read and erase codes.

i also have a xentry clone that does the same. What is it you're trying to do with this unit?
