Afternoon all.

I'm looking for a diagnostics tool for my 56MY Vantage. I don't have anything I need to resolve at present but it's helpful to have it in the toolbox.

I've seen a number of BT/Wifi units that connect to your phone but these appear to be largely limited to viewing live data. I'd like to be able to do that, as well as scan and reset error messages etc.
I use EDIABAS for the BMWs in the family which is a great little system so something along those lines would be great.

What do you all use/recommend?

Thanks, all. That gives me plenty to work with.

Its OBD, its a standard, why not use the BMW thing you have ? or is it somehow specific or linked to a vehicle ?

I read and reset codes on the Aston with the same £30 box off ebay that I use on the Volvo....
I have the lead, but the software is BMW specific.
