Hi everyone

I have been looking for a OBD 2 scanner for my iPhone to monitor my punto. Which one do you use? I have found quite a few models, but i am interested in earring which one worked out best for you guys?

Not a direct answer to your question but I use MES loaded on a laptop with an ELM327 cable with a resistor removed ( to access the steering etc pay modules)

The free version lets you access many of the ecus for engine related faults. It's much better than any generic reader.

Multiecuscan is a computer based diagnostic system, but just a generic code reader. You do need a laptop PC and an interface lead (ELM327 USB "modified" for multiecuscan, abot £10-20 on ebay or Amazon) but it does SO much more. There is also a program called AlfaOBD thait is very similar. AlfaOBD will run on an android phone or tablet with a bluetooth ELM327 adaptor if you don't want to use a PC.

try torque, good too

Unfortunatly Torque is not make specific, it just uses the basic common codes and gives incorrect readings for some Fiats.

Clearing faults is why MES is best option.

MES talks the same language as the car. Generic OBD readers will sometimes fail to inform you fully of the meaning of a manufacturer specific code.
MES also allows you to activate things to check if the work. You can turn things on and off from the keyboard making fault finding faster.
Is that the best ? It's certainly more comprehensive and for me it's worth the registration fee. Paid for itself the first time I used it.
