    Code reader recommendations

    Hi all, I know this has been asked in the past but I was wondering which code reader everyone is using and recommends?

              After a bit of thinking I've ordered an 8GB Amazon Fire 7HD for £40 (refurbished) on eBay and an OBD Eleven scanner module. I'll let you know how it goes but thanks for your help.

                Knowing those Amazon tablets, be prepared to jump through a few hoops to get the app to work.

                  Ah no way, I've cancelled that then! Which tablet would you recommend?

                    So I've finally got around to getting my hands on an Android device, it works really well on my C6 A6, plugged it into the RS2 and there is not apparent connection the ECU, not even any power, does anyone know if the +/- terminal is fused?

                        10A fuse, number 21 on the fuse board, replaced that and bing. That's the issue with the labelling being in German!
