Hi all,

Thanks for the constructive replies.
So is the general consensus that this thing may just do the job, but depending on software.

I suppose like icer006 said - for circa $30 its not too much to waist if it dosn't work, and by going by the guy's feedback it would seem that it does.

My other thought was the 'Rev' software for the iphone (its available on apps now) for around £30 again. But on top of that you need to purchase a wifi OBD connector that then sends the data to iphone wirelessly. You could also purchase the wifi link on its own and then get hold of some suitable software and have it send the data to and from your wifi equiped laptop/desktop. The downside? Well the wifi gizmo is circa $200+

I'm still tempted to give the ebay item a whirl a mind. Its not like I'll be doing any re-programming, just getting the error codes so i can then fix the fault(s), etc and then subsequently use it to reset the light(s) saving me the slightly excessive charge for the stealership doing it!
