Anyone tried one of these?

Unread post by Gibbo2286 »

An advert for this keeps popping up on the Birmingham Face book site. Anyone tried one, I note they say it's not been tested on all cars.

Yes, it's a generic Bluetooth OBD scanner. They work OK, ut are available for less money. Nothing special.
