OBD code reader

Can anyone recommend a code reader for my Volvo 960 (1996 model)?

Ex850R

The less than $30 one from China on ebay or Alibaba.
Same as the one Supercrap charges a gazillion $$ for...

Ex850R

Clears codes ( most ) as well.

And it is delivered for that price.....

I have a 2x cheap ebay Chinese scanners (work perfectly) and a d900 eBay special (won't scan all codes) and an elm327 Bluetooth dongle (works together with my android phone with the torque app . To be honest, I think the elm scanner with my phone is best .

Well I have an Android pad (Samsung) so maybe the Elm327 is the best choice. There's so many cheapies under $30 on ebay that I wouldn't know which one to pick!

Looks like they are from what the interwebs says.

My '96 850R refused to work with anything. Standalone or ELM327
Both are fine in the S60

Am I dreamin or is the R and T5 850 actually technically 4.3 1/2 but called 4.4 , I remember that from somewhere that may be why it didn't work , I never tried that stuff with my R.

The 850 R work with a LED and probing the obd2 socket

nickm

Either a blue tooth dongle or a vag-com cable and Vol FCR

I believe they are, but the only one I have dealt with personally was in Sweden. My wifes parents had a aqua green metallic wagon over there, awesome car! They dont seem to be very popular here though...

Ex850R

I love the aqua 850!
When I was searching for an 850R in 1992/3 they turned up in WA and QLD mostly but beige interior....nooooo.

nickm

Les 1992-3??? 2002 maybe :-O

Ex850R

Yeah! My brain is fucked.. .
