which software to read scooby ecu codes ????

As above really have a diagnostic cable which says it will work on subaru using subaru ecu reader but downloaded and doesn't make much sense

Are there any easy to read and good ones out there

Free of course being pikey style (you lot on here have taught me well it's got fook all with me being scottish "Baldy" lmao)

Thanks Keith

you need either a tactrix cable (like what I had for sale) or a dedicated EOBD/OBDII code reader, either way its gunna cost ya

Ahhhhhhhhhh thought as much lol so no suprises there lol

If drew hadn't been so quick my next offer to you would have been same as his

Im sure you got some of the extras i gave to finn did you not johnny? so every favour deserves reward

I have a vag com 409.1 lead which should work and im looking to use rom raider software only to read and log im not looking to flash just to clear fault codes if there are any stored

any eobd reader will read 2001 on but only emmision related data and sum fault codes

No mate the vag com is for VW Audi cars, it won't work with Subaru, believe me Drew and I have tried

You would be best off getting one of these- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CAR-DIAGNOSTIC-SCANNER-CODE-READER-RESET-OBD2-OBDii-CAN-/120729679011?pt=UK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment&hash=item1c1c0cb4a3

its the one Andy K uses and reads all codes for subaru (it even tells you what the code means) and you can also read live sensor data with it.

I got this one. Its probably not as good as the one Jonny Gav suggests but it certainly does the trick and has pointed me towards several of the long running issues I'd had previously.

On a side note it even seems to have some kind of artificial intelligence which can detect my mechanical abilities depending on the fault code.

I don't think the lead i have is specific for the vw group mate so il run some checks and try a few programes and let you know the out come

Ive got 1 hat reads the impreza 2001 one but took sum finding lol also reads sum of the early classics ive used it on 97/98 on 16pin

VAG COM stands for Vw Audi Group COMunication.

If you are looking for something that works through your laptop here is a good one- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ELM-327-1-4-CAR-DIAGNOSTIC-CODE-READER-SCANNER-OBD2-CAN-/200612041529?pt=UK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment&hash=item2eb568d339

Its cheap too!
