Default OBD reader success at last !

After trying 5 different OBD scanner/readers, I've now found one that actually WORKS !!

I bought a handheld Vgate scanner, 2 different EM327 leads and 2 Bluetooth 'dongles' based on EM327 along with 3 different types of OBD software, but NONE of them would connect to my x type.

Although more expensive, I came across a Land Rover & Jaguar iCarsoft i930 Multi System Diagnostic Tool which actually works extremely well.

I can certainly recommend this tool.

Now, I'm rid of the MIL light at long last.

*No connection with the company, just a happy customer !!

Also bought one recently, and found that it does lots of other makes as well including my Saabs, works well although the response to the buttons can be a bit slow.
