R0llamite Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 In the interest of maintaning the car i want to be able to read codes, could anyone link me to a reader and something to connect it to an iphone perhaps? tried and tested is preferable, Im also after locating some orange head light indicator clusters, not the bumper or wing ones, the ones that sit next to the head light itself if anyone could assist as im having no luck.

Scooby Pete Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Quite a bit of info in this thread..... http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/7851-obd-scanner-thing-wireless-recommendations/ Best app is Dashcmd this is a pay app but gives loads of info besides fault codes. If you just want codes then OBDCarDoctor is prob the best free app. Both of these are wifi based apps rather than Bluetooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Never used the Wifi OBD2 dongles but expect can find them on eBay & reviewing feedback may help. Another good option if have notebook is the FreeSSM software & a VAG USB-OBD2 cable. I'm still using WindowsMobile6.5.5 & have ScanMaster PPC & a Bluetooth OBD2 dongle off eBay which keep in glovebox as handy have basic access 24/7 anywhere, most of the ELM327 adaptors should be fine even wifi ones so doubt you will go wrong really ...

R0llamite Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 great thanks for that guys, i actully already have the Dashcmd from when i owned an ibiza FR, how would i connect it to the impreza however? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R0llamite Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Quick bit of research, OBD2 READERS andDASHCMD wont work on my impreza as its a 95 import and JAPAN were still using OBD1 before lawfully switching in 96, back to the drawing board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/2366-manually-reading-ecu-codes/ Options for OBD1 software is bit expensive for home use in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr B Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Best option for home users with ssm1 socket is making your own ssm1 cable or buying one & using it with freessm software on a notebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
