I have the OBDStar 200, which I bought to reset the service indicator on my previous (2014) Ghibli and it worked well

Its a bit limited on other things, it does give some readouts but things like the soot content of the DPF it does not

Does anyone know of one that gives that, plus will run a forced regen?

This one? It says you get 1 manufacturer free.. Im guessing you choose that when you register it?

Someone on the FB group has screen shot it. It does have the DPF readings but can't do a forced regen.

You choose the first manufacturer for free. You can add subsequent manufacturers for something like £15 each. You have to renew the second manufacturer annually for a fee.

Yes, I saw the same post. I'd have to bow to the experience of that poster. I assume it was your thread?

And yes, you chose your free, lifetime manufacturer and add the others as and when you need.

On mine 1 manufacturer Inc for the first year then is something like $20 to renew. It ‘was’ really good just wish I knew which one of my customers I left it in their obd socket.

I’ll get it back next year :cool:

What I liked about it was it’s quick and simple and doesn’t take an age to login and verify certificates like my more expensive one does. It won’t work without an internet connection and an authentication app. It’s good but a pain.

The AP200 has none of this faff.

I think I will get the AP200.. it will do most of what I want.. if I find I start needing the force regen (no reason why I should) then will look again..

Thanks for all the help :)

Not in mine, but I did find a handy place to stow the manual....
