generally, these readers only read either the first 3 or 4 digits of the code or only the engine management ECU. Bodsys Brake Bible

United Kingdom 2006 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Rimini Red

I have one... and have purchased the torque obd software for my android phone and it works for only 80% of cars out there and only reads and resets OBD codes, not canbus devices ! seems to struggle with commercials

I've used it on my smart car, Vauxhall astra, Fiat punto, Seat Cupra, Several subarus (1997 and above) Renault megane and clio Range Rover Vogue and Sport and is great for resetting engine error codes

Fails on Ford transit, renault commercials and a bmw330ci (for some strange reason)..

For 11 quid tho (and 4 quid for the app) it may save a few quid from the indi / stealers ! Why?.. Because i can....
RRS 2006 S/C Rimini Red Weekend toy
Subaru impreza 1998 2.0 340hp still here
Smart car 0.7 61 hp Carbon offset
Sierra cosworth 2.0 350 hp GONE
Various RS escorts, Vauxhall sri's Volvo T5's, BMW 3 series, fiestas (?) fiat's....

Just wanted to point out that generic OBD readers only read emissions related codes (when they work Razz ). This means basically only power train. Nothing Land Rover specific such as EAS, HEVAC, ABS, etc.

But if this is all you are looking for - I would do it in a hearbeat.
