OBD2 Scanner

What are you guys using out there for OBD2 Scanners to read/clear codes and testing for smog readiness?

BlueDriver is pretty heavily advertised ever since I searched "OBD2 Scanner" and seems pretty good...
Carly doesn't seem compatible with this model of the C-Class...
FIXD was advertised on one of Vehicle Virgin's videos... but I anecdotal bad reviews of it on-line.

Yeah... looks like that's only for Mercedes vehicles... I think I'll need something more generic that I can use on multiple vehicle makes...

This one looks good from iCarsoft and looks compatible with other makes...

I bought VEEPEAK BLE and OBD Fusion App for iPhone, can't get it to connect. I got it 1 time to work, but never again. I am somewhat tech savvy, it pisses me off.

All the scanners I’ve tried don’t have boost so this could be a very handy tool

I bought VEEPEAK and The iPhone OBD Fusion App. Had some issues getting it to connect to car.

I got it to connect 1 time and never again. Contacted support and they decided my device wasn’t working so they sent me a New VEEPEAK and I just returned from a Family Trip and I haven’t had a chance to try.

I Hope this one works. I HOPE i can see Air Fuel Ratios while driving, but I am not getting my hopes up.

Okay thanks!

You can’t log it with that app?

my problem is I’m getting code P0299 on both turbos, which is low boost pressure. It does the same as the code you got regarding the vacuum line to left turbo, it goes in to limp mode & you have to turn the car off & on to get the boost back, well until I do another pull/wot run.

Btw, what is our stock boost pressure?

thanks again.

I know your not stock, but how does the boost gauge reading compare to what you should be running?

C63S stock is 17.4 psi., not sure what tuned is?

mine showed 12.4

Btw. the app connected no problem first time & works well

My target boost is 23 psi.

I achieve 22 psi both on the app and on the data log from the dyno.

I think i loose 1 psi due to having cats.

JB4. Has the code-reading and clearing functionality built in, and works well.
