Can anyone recommend any hand scanners to work on a 2001 XJR please.

I had a INNOVA 3100 years ago, and it wouldn't work on this model year.

I could do with one which gives live readings rather than just fault codes.
It stalled on the way home today and was not happy.

Did not turn the ecu light on.

With a battery disconnect/reconnect I got home.

Would be happy with a bluetooth product.

happy to purchase from ebay.

Thanks

I have just purchased an ELM327 which is bluetooth & runs on my android Galaxy Note & gives plenty of viewing options! & I am also considering getting rid of my Scanguage which is plug in display guage which will also read & clear logged codes.

Been doing a bit of reasearch. I recently got an iPhone which means you have to pay about £30 ontop of the tool for the app !

Resulting in about £100.

Thinking of one of these:

Gendan GCR25 Professional Diagnostic Scan Tool (with CAN support)

If you have an android buy an app called Torque BHP and an Elm27 Bluetooth OBDii transmitter (£13 ebay)
Now you have a dtc code reader,dozens of live gauges (even shows turbo boost on mine),track recorder,etc etc etc
If you havent got an android you can get one with txts/mins/daya for around 50p/mth after cashback (if I can find the comparison site again!

sorry, should have mentioned its 1999 - I could get the phone to "see" the adaptor, but while it would pair none of the programs I tried would sync with it. Probably does not work too well on the older cars.
