Proof reader?

I read "Idiot Proof Reader" as "Idiot Proof" Reader.
Or scanner if I've read that correctly.
I could have completely misread that though.

OK!

So the problem is that most of the readers out there will only do the basic OBDII codes relating to the engine management. Everything gets quite spendy.

A few possibilities:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Systems-Special-Functions-Including-Throttle/dp/B06XQFCL42
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Autel-Bluetooth-Scanner-Systems-Diagnoses/dp/B07QCT1PC5
and the yet to be released EasyMas which is being developed with input from the most august forum owner and Sports Italia.

I guess I'd go with the Autel unless I wanted to dump £500+ but I have no idea how idiot proof they are, nor more than apocryphal reports that they manage the functionality they claim.

There's a thread somewhere. It's not SM per se, but they have input, I believe

It would be much easier to find an 'idiot proof-reader', than an 'idiot-proof reader'...

 

[Nayf]

Thought the thread title was about me then

 

[Nayf]

Sorry, then.

 

[marce]

you could do some research to see if this will work.... but for the price who cares !!

[CatmanV2]

Oh it'll read Engine codes. And you can get them cheaper. Won't do anything else, though

I’ve just seen the thread title and would like to apply for the job.

Hi,
I've got a 2015 Grancabrio which has pinged an amber EML light on the way home from work. I've got a simple OBD2 reader at home which I use for my daily driver but I see that the plug is different on the Mas ? It is a 16 PIN straight plug/socket but OBD2 is not rectangle shaped, please could you tell me, do I need a specific adapter for my car, to enable me to connect up an OBD2 ?

No. The GT has a bog standard OBD port. Where are you looking?

Most OBD female plugs are rectangular but tapered male OBD plug fits fine

OP - Foxwell NT520 with Maserati module is a good budget OBD starter unit.

Thanks I best just try and fit it, I saw the plug next to the fuse box under the steering wheel and instantly thought it was the wrong shape. I'll have a go tomorrow.
