Best OBD2 Reader?

[MileHigh]

Well, I’ve got an engine light, probably due to gas overfill. Is there a consensus on the best OBD reader for the IG?

There is a struggle to even find an OBD2 reader that works well with the IG.

Works with your phone, I’ve been using it with my BMW’s and my Ineos, clears all the codes, reads most.

Always up to date

If you take your Grenadier to a dealer with the light on - they will give you a software update that fixes it.

If you clear the code, they will not.

Thanks. To your knowledge is there anything the the CX version can do with respect to the Grenadier that the more expensive MX+ can't?

Thanks Michael

Yes I had seen that post but I'm considering buying the MX+ as it covers a wider range of vehicles. Was just was curious as to whether there it has less functionality when used on the grenadier.

I didn’t see where the MX+ was mentioned on that thread as an alternative? Is it worth the extra 50 bucks or so?

In answer to my own question I did a bit of googling and it seems the MX + supports enhanced diagnostics for Ford, GM and a number of other manufacturers in addition to the std ISO protocols. It can also pair with a windows PC without the use of a BLE adaptor. Usefully for Australians it appears to have enhanced diagnostics support for Holden.
