Try this on Ebay, Item No. 150852545917

There are cheaper ones out there, but you should have less set-up issues with this.

- if you've got an android phone / tablet there's an app that works well for £3 quid
- ODB2 codes only, but it can wipe codes too
- on bluetooth - not cable - one of these is compatible

How come a 2004 and 4 can run on just one wire but I need 3 separate ones one for airbag one for engine and one steering or something it is a 2000 and I run it on a obd 2 machine with these wires does any one have any ideas as curious to this

The newer leads have dip switches to change the pin-outs for the various configurations, so effectively you have 3 cables in one.
