Trillionz Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Last week I put my £3 bluetooth dongle in my car and checked it with Torque app pro. Found 7 faults. None put alight up and they were for things like reverse not being selected and me trying to start the car with the transponder missing from the key. Interestingly I did not clear the codes but plugged my diagnostic laptop in running Delphi. It only found 4 DTS codes. I had already ordered a U450 just to keep in the glove-box. It arrived today so I tried it. No errors found. Put the bluetooth dongle back in and re-run the diagnosis and it found 8 errors. Cleared them all at this stage. So my non scientific diagnosis is that a £3 bluetooth dongle with the Torque Pro app is the way to go. Obviously it won't do a DPF regeneration like Delphi but for general use its the tops.

Micro Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 The immobiliser code pops up on mine infrequently, it may have something to do with the key being partially folded when starting the engine, or a brief interruption of signal. A lot of codes will only set if they are triggered multiple times or with the right conditions, and some may just occur with normal running of the car.
