Technical OBD Scanner

Hey everyone,

Can any of you recommend an ODB scanner that works for a 2014 Fiat 500c 0.9L twinair? Also, a workshop manual?

Ah sorry, I didn't realize you meant the software

Yes, I can also vouch for mes, you just need to make sure you get a quality cable.

Chasing the OBD connection/ scanner and the software for it. A wireless one is preference so can be used with my iPhone. What cable would you suggest? Been looking and some units are $1k+. Was hoping for a lot cheaper

We (the forum) has the multiplex adaptor "cantiecar" (mes sent it to us) so I can only comment on that.

But you don't need to go so extravagant!

So for this question I'll have to bow out, but I'm sure some other site members can help!

Thanks for the info but that’s definitely more than I was hoping for will look into mes though, looks good, thank you.

Always use a cable never a wireless connection

Ok, will have a look, thanks.

I have just bought a manual for my 500. It covers the twinair engine too. It's in german so no problem for me. The information to electrics is basic so I use the e learn provided by the forum for additional information.
It's sold by Bucheli and well worth the 30 Euro they ask for it. Now I have torque wrench settings and descriptions on water pump, timing chain and cylinder head removal/refitting. Drivetrain, gearbox, steering and brakes are covered too.
For me these manuals are familiar as the Haynes ones are for you.

Thanks so much. I was looking at that one. Does it have pictures that can be followed and torque settings written in English? If so maybe I’ll give it a whirl otherwise it will be useless as I can read German

It has pictures and drawings. Torque figures are designated in german but show Nm and degrees. The designations can be googled or asked here, I can help to translate if there are questions. For operations that are described you should understand the language or have someone to translate it for you. It's a technical book so quite straitforward. It's a pity that no official Fiat manuals are avaible, but i think that introduction of the twinair happened the same time that e learn went to password protected online service so there are no CDs any more that reached aftermarket. If not Bucheli but Haynes had the Twinair I had taken the Haynes manual as english is no problem for me.

But Haynes often only cover the mainstream variants..

So 4cyl petrol Manual

Yeah I’ve spoken to Haynes about it and they have nothing covering 2013 on or the twin air, so nothing for my car unfortunately. Might have a look if there are pics and torque figures. Thanks
