Under The [Diagnosis] menu key Engine Diagnostic features includes:

[Read DTC]: Read the current DTC (Fault Codes) the engine has stored.

[Clear DTC]: Clear all the current DTC (Fault Codes).

[Readiness test]: Readiness reflects the status that all the valid diagnostic functions. The diagnostic functions are referring to the important monitoring functions in OBD system, e.g. Lambda Sensor monitoring, O2 sensor heater monitoring, and EGR system monitoring, etc.

With same features as above

[davecl]

Sorry mate, no wish to offend.
I was under the impression that the features were software which is clearly stated as being free so I was just thinking why pay £50 if you can get them for £6?
If the features are hardware then I stand corrected

None taken, I'm still waiting to get a sample so I can see what it's all about. But what does this dongle thing do?

This item seems to plug into the OBD port and transmit data direct to an app on a smartphone and from what I have seen in the fast ford mag it looks like you can do alot with the data etc
