Good luck with the 16 pin setup

I've tried and failed several times, i don't know enough about Consult to do it alone

Madmark · 09-02-2016, 16:52

I was thinking more along the lines of the small hand held basic ones that read codes beginning with p. Rather than the paper clip idea as still cant sort this injector prob so gonna buy new injector to rule that out

A couple of years back i purchased a Autophix one from a company called Chinavasion.Yes the company is in China.

Is that a 16 Pin Consult or a 14 Pin?

If it's the 16 Pin can you check if you have Pin 7 present please

No worries buddy

Mark take a pic of your Consult plug mate and wires on back, should juts slide out of groove as if yours doesn't have Pin 7 you can mod a 14 Pin reader and still use ECUTalk

Banshee · 10-02-2016, 15:29

Does yours look like that Mark?

Madmark · 10-02-2016, 15:34

Yes mate exactly same and same pins too

So Consult is a no go for you too then

That's OBDII - standard cheap as chips bluetooth reader from ebay or Amazon and Torque lite on your android phone. Codes will get read fine.

If you manage to get a v1.5 (I think that's the correct version) rather than the common v2.1 OBDII bluetooth dongle thing then NDS Scan Lite should work too. The one I had was v2.1 and NDS didn't like it, but Darren managed to get a code from it using Torque Lite.

Awesome Info!!!!!

I'm going to try one of these, what do you think?

We're good to get that one by the looks of it

http://torque-bhp.com/wiki/Bluetooth_Adapters

But no support in the Lite version of Torque, so you'll have to spend another £2.95 on the pro version of the app

All said and done though, if this works, £7.70 is a bargain

Might be making some headway with the guys that appear to be ODB2 then

I'll kick my other thread back into life once it comes and has been tested
