OBD 11 READER

[flybywire]

Have been trying to read the OBD11 from a 2006 Legacy 3.0 R spec B without success.  Have so far tried a cheap £30 reader from eBay as well as a Elm 327, all without success.  The cheapy does not link and the Elm connects but does not display any data when using computer.   :(

 

Does anyone have a recommended reader that works with the Subaru that will not break the bank - something that will read and clear engine codes.  would love a full blown reader that reads auto box and ABS codes but probably out of my reach.  Saying that, any recommendations?  

 

Thanks all,

i got the AutoLink AL319 what is working with my06 Forester or a iPad/iPhone WiFi dongle and DashCmd

 

even made a YouTube video but my YouTube channel is now dead as Google = and i refuse to be forced in all kind of accounts like Google+ etc

 

can it be that your OBDII connector has problems?

It works!  This is the one I bought - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141245988611?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 .  Thanks for the help all.  I now want to access all the data on the abs, auto box, AC ect.  Will have to raid the proverbial piggy bank when it goes wrong!
