I bought what @timado404 posted above. Works great, shows all the codes I've needed thus far and seems very robust. It allows for the service/oil light reset.

It's 100% equivalent to the $500 Autel MK808 but leverages the cloud to pull data, so the OBD scanner is super basic and it's tied to a single Manufacturer. The MK808 downloads all the necessary stuff to the device itself, which may be easier for a shop to use, but way overkill compared to the $49 device posted above.

If you need to use it for another Manufacturer, there's a yearly fee, so it makes more sense to just buy a 2nd $49 device for another manufacturer (possibly just connected to a different phone to keep things simple).
Walmart HT 200 can read all ECUs and even skyhook and can reset the service light
Hi Mrbobdou,

I purchased the Autel AP200 unit but don't see how to reset the engine service coupon, the scans come back as passed. How do you reset the service coupon wrench light from the app?

Thanks,
Legend
 
Hello. New to this forum. Spent a great deal of time searching for an inexpensive diagnostic tool that resets the oil maintenance wrench on my 2016 Ghibli. After contacting the technical support of the 6 most popular manufacturers in Amazon, I purchased and successfully reset the maintenance warning light (i.e. wrench) using the GODIAG GD203 tool. As of December 2023, the tool is listed in Amazon under $70. There were other diagnostic tools that claim to do the same, but they were either highly expensive ($1,500) or required a $90 license per vehicle when using 2 or more vehicles (1 license included with the $140 purchase of the tool). GODIAG includes over 80 vehicle manufacturers. All my family vehicles are included in the tool.
The only inconvenience I noted with the tool is that they recommend you update the tool software upon receipt. You figure that a new tool should come with the updated software, but that is not totally uncommon now a days. Example, Amazon firestick! It is also another way of forcing your registration. The update was fairly simple. You connect the scanner to your PC using the supplied USB wire. The PC recognizes the tool as a hard drive. You then need to run the setup file. However, the setup file was not included with my tool. I performed a google search and located the file within the vendor's website. I copied the file to the tool hard drive and ran the setup process. I think the outcome may have been the same if I'd skipped this update process. The tool update took me 30 minutes, the reset of the oil maintenance took me 5 minutes in total. Hah!
The tool is very easy and intuitive. It has a bunch of other features. Enjoy!

thanks for this write up and information. i'm ordering one this weekend.
 
I purchased the HT200 and was overjoyed when it linked up to my QP and scanned for codes. I was very hesitant to buy the HT200 because everybody talks about Launch-431 and the Autels and Foxwells, etc. I serious doubts that a $50 tool would actually do the job. But it did...!!!
 
Hi, know this is an old thread but was wondering which NT530 you got for your Maserati. I looked for one but there several and each one is linked to specific car manufacturers. Which one is for the Maserati Granturismo Sport..

Thanks
You can buy one that is "unlocked".
Basically it talks to nothing, then you use a code to register it and you can select what brand you want to link too.


They are a basic scanner "stock" and you can add different brands by buying and downloading other keys.

It's a great little thing. Powerful enough to help diagnosis. Not so powerful you're likely to brick your car...

I'd like to see a scanner function for those who want it as an option that would come installed & be displayed on our entertainment screen.
Well there's a couple of options (none of which you could put on the original screen):


Neat little thing. Been around for ever. Customisable.

Option 2: Replace the NIT with an Android head unit (such as one from @Robin Elliott . Then install your preferred software (such as Torque, or for the AP200) and fire up the software as and when you need it

I'm not looking for my GT to look like a jet cockpit; just want it to display what specifically is the trouble code/explanation for the engine light to come on.

I'm not aware of anything that currently will do that. I would imagine that an competent Android developer would be able to integrate to something like Torque on a head unit and flash up a code reason, but it would be custom coded, I'm sure

My thought is to have all manufacturers incorporate the information that an aftermarket OBD reads by displaying the codes somewhere on the instrument cluster.

I bought the Foxwell NT530 and it works well with my ‘15 GTS. Resets Service Coupon and Oil. Scans everything and can reset faults and look at settings.
I purchased it with Maserati software and then bought GM software (download) for my Corvette and Silverado. I bought it on Amazon and I see it is still available.
