I get the occasional fault code on my dash since I replaced my cats with 200 cel big bore ones. It costs me a tenner to get the code removed each time, so I am after my own one so I can remove them myself. Can anyone recommend a decent model, then tell me where I plug it in?

I have an ELM 327 bluetooth OBD dongle that costs about £3 from ebay and the Torque app on my android phone, reads fault codes and clears the EML light with a few taps of the phone screen and works on all makes of cars.
I also have the Porsche Specific icarsoft 960 fault code reader for non EML codes for airbags and abs faults etc which is about £100 from the manufacturers :thumb:

They seem to have disappeared from eBay, but this looks the same

I bought the cheap Chinese clone too - but couldn't get it work on any of the modules except the alarm. So it was useful to know which bit was causing the odd alarm not setting thing.. but no luck with things like ABS, gearbox, A/C etc etc.
I think 996.1 has better luck?
Oh you also need an XP computer. Not one in a VM environment - an actual XP laptop.
