obd reader

[Mr.Cambio]

Chaps, i am in search of buying an obd reader for the Alfa and the Maser. Did an ebay search and found a lot. Many of them claim that they don't erase/recognise abs, asr faults.

What have you been using?

Most interesting were:

I bought mine from amazon a few months back and I use it on the Mini. The 3200 I have is pre-obd so I can't use this on that but I have unidiag and a different cable for that.

This is the one and it can scan codes and also erase them. I don't think it can scan ABS modules though unless they are stored in the main ECU.

With torque on my android phone. Can't do anything that's not in the engine ECU, but it can handle all of that.

For my Alfa I use Multiecuscan. I don't know if it will hook up to the Maser as mine is pre OBD2 but it works very well on my 159. There's a free trial version, although I use the registered version for more functionality (at only 50 euro) and use either an ELM 327 or KKL interface (depending on vehicle) into a windows tablet. It will handle A/C, parking sensors etc and also communicates with CanBus.

Many friends use torque, but i have a symbian phoe, where torque is not supported. But i wish it would.

 

[Mr.Cambio]

anyone aware if there's a reader for symbian?

I used this OBD 2 reader on an Alfa GT, worked a treat with FiatECUscan

I bought one of these, but am having problems with it, it keeps coming up ''LINKING ERROR''
any ideas?

No not seen that one. It works on the mini and other OBD cars so not sure why it gives linking error. Does it go through all the different modes trying to find one which will communicate etc?

Got in touch with them, they say they don't do Maserati software!!!!!

 

[Contigo]

Ok send it back or use it on your other car. The only way then is to get the Alfa software or UNiDiag working!

I use a Gendan unit for the Alfa and the S2000. Works a treat. Cost about £45 at Carspares.
