Lightbulb Codereader alternative To Foxwell or other small OBD device

For those who would like to get something similar like low price code reading and limited functions, I did setup a code-reading/reset system for that same reason as HLG600
even cheaper then the foxwell
what you need:

- Android Car stereo

- ELM327 obd plug ( I use the Carly as i tested over 6 and this one is the smallest and has auto-turn off and on)





then you get the APP ( a few bucks)

Torque Pro

android or iphone


with this you will be able to read/erease all your fault codes within a minute
nothing to plug (you leave it in permanently)
and
this is the great extra:
You will be able to monitor everything on your car and build your own custom gauges dashboard






now you have another alternative
have fun !

ps: you can also add carly mercedes to the apps
go take a look on their website
