  • Fault code reader for S50B32

    Looking to buy a fault code reader that works with the S50B32 can anyone recommend anything? will need to plug into the under bonnet round connector as car has no OBD port

    Quick search of the web brings up very little as per usual, icarsoft appear to offer something but cant see any reviews for the S50b32

        I successfully use a Autel like this with a 16 - 20 Pin adaptor lead from eBay.

        https://www.autelstore.co.uk/wholesa...stic-tool.html

        It is fairly comprehensive although obviously no replacement for factory stuff.

        Comes pre loaded with many manufacturer cars selectable which helps the codes to be a little les generic.

            I bought a C110 which was supplied with the ODB > round pin adaptor - cost about £50 - haven't had to use it too much but seems to do the job.

                        Hello Dave, I picked up on your post in 2008 and recently purchased an iCarsoft diagnostic tool c/w adaptor, but have found it very limited and geared for the USA market. On my 1999 Z3M Coupe like the photos you have uploaded here of the 45 system list options it only links to x 4 diagnostic checks? Clearly I've misunderstood the tools capabilities I really wanted to clear a Airbag fault, but it's OBD menu is not available for the M Coupe nor links to the car?
                        May I ask for your experience and view please and of course from any other iCarsoft users, thank you ????

                          My C110 has cleared airbag faults on mine twice - also correctly diagnosed O2 sensor failure when it was stuttering around 3000rpm.

                          Very decent bit of kit for the money.

                            I havent tried it but I think it will reset the airbag fault in the SRS section?

                              This one? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Scanner-Air...73157131&psc=1

                              Can anyone recommend a similar one that does a wider range of cars?
