I can't get confirmation from any source if my XK8 has been read by any of the OBD scanners on ebay. Remember, my trip to autozone resulted in no reading from their unit. So, how about giving me some links and makes/models that I can pick up my own scanner. $100 is around my price range.

thanks!

 

What do you want from it?
100.00 will get you generic code reader. No ABS or SRS.

 

Yah, since I may have a DSC fault to code, I definately need ABS electronics. any good choices?

 

There is a newer genesis tool that reads all codes, but pricey.
I don't think you are going to get something that reads abs for
that price. I will look and see.

 

Check out Auto Enginuity. They have a new unit with a Jaguar module, however, the base unit with module and s/h will be about $500. From what I have read it does most everything.

 

I have used the AutoEnginuity with Fords for a while. I just bought the Jaguar module which is a simple activation code to turn on the enhanced Jag module. The base AE setup will read all your DTC's and give you some live performance data, but it will only work on the Powertrain system. without the enhanced jaguar module you will not get anything else. However, the enhanced module works great and will get everything off the ECU/ODBII and I know it supports CAN which is useful if you have a newer jaguar.

Hope this helps,

Pat

 

AutoEnginuity seems like the most affordable way to go.

I plan on getting the PC version, and the Palm software for use on my Treo, and of course, the jag expansion package so that I can read those ABS and light faults. Just look at these sensors available to us.

Spending about $500, so perhaps I'll rent out the unit to our members to recoup some of that cost.

thanks for the leads guys!
