G'day,

It's been a few years now, has anyone found a code reader for the AU's ?

Thanks David

That is mainly the reason why the USA gov mandated a standard OBDII standard, that everything has to adhere to so you can sell a car in the USA.

Would love to be able to use a $50 ebay reader to see fault codes on my AU... alas...

I reckon $50 might be a bit wishful, but anything less then $250 for that sort of device ain't too bad I reckon. Such as something like this:

(Autel MaxiDiag US703).

If you are really keen you could order from Amazon US and total delivered cost is $165. But does it work

have a look at this guys, i don`t know if it will only work on the one model, but holy crap i`m thinking if it does a lot of models this stuff would be worth a small fortune .........maybe? and very useful to boot.

What about a bluetooth OBDII reader and a mobile app for Android phones called "Torque"?

When did the Falcon go CANBUS?

B-series.

I think the AU uses proprietary OBD codes in the AU ... so specific readers are needed for the AU.

can anyone confirm this thing works on the AU? if so does it pick up spark issues? From the description it hints at being more primitive on the AU.
