If you care to have a quick google, you'll find that TommyTa quickly leads to Autobink (http://www.autobink.com/) which leads to the Creader V (http://www.autobink.com/products.html#creaderv) which apparently is a code reader. The user may be a genuine sign up, but it's cheap advertising for a code reader from China that in no way guarantees to be able to read from JDM cars. Maybe not direct spam, but if nothing else it's a commercial advert and should be treated as such.
Ah thank you s8) 8) s8)

Can you confirm that you can get the Launch Creader JP that can read JDM vehicles
There is no JP Creader V in LAUNCH original.
As I know only three language EN,Spainish and French.
I saw that picture post on the board.But be careful,LAUNCH has never that stuff.You can see on x431.com
Thanks
this is ot but I bit and looked that stuff up.
There seems to be a uk site for it m http://www.launchtech.co.uk/creader.html (http://www.launchtech.co.uk/creader.html) m
So I think its possible the point is it likely some kind of copy and not the original product, from the named supplier.

It's true that LAUNCH has no that JP stuff.
As Launch has a sub-OEM factory.Some guys with those over produced accessories to made SO-CALLED JP Creader V.
LAUNCH official site has never shown that JP Creader V stuff.They are COPY units.The original Creader V has a stick with serial number to register at x431.com
But all copys have no that stick.
Kind remind only
Tommy
thanks for the info Tommy.
I'm glad you understood it s;) ;) s;)
So basically it can't read JDM codes, and is just a commercial advert to a product which really needs to be removed as per club rules.
I have one of those readers and it doesn't work on imports.
Nice reader though, you can get live read outs of sensor output.
Quote from: "Wabbitkilla"I have one of those readers and it doesn't work on imports.
Nice reader though, you can get live read outs of sensor output.
If you are in EU countries,I suggest you use Creader V in Spain and EN or French.
Anyway,that has three language options for your choice.
Tommy
No, I have no problem with the language ... the reader doesn't work with MR-S imported from Japan.
European market cars are ok as they are true OBDii compliant.
I got it to try really as i wanted one to read JDM cars codes.
It doesn't work on them, but I like the reader anyway because it's small, light, got a good display, and reads out live sensor readings nicely.
No batteries either.
Yes.it's just like you said very good stuff!
Tommy
The CReader V now is worldwide shortage.LAUNCHTech is holding its annual meeting.It will be later of month can get new ones.
The board seems frozen!

Pointed me to the post cat lambda as well. Have heard that the generic sensors @£50 are not fully compatible with the MR2 (apparently Toyota and Hondas have different electrical properties/requirements) and need to get the specific units @£140. Still saving my pennies to go for the real deal - but anyone any experience of short/long life from the generic sensors?

That's quite a lucky find ... it's normally impossible to find a reader that works with the MR-S s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
ive got one - im in west leake, nottingham
Could you take me off the OBDII list please as I had to sell the MR2 recently and gave the reader along with it. The reader is still in the same town and I will encourage the new owner to register again on here and make the reader available on a listing so hopefully only a temporary absence s:) :) s:)
Hi all, I have tried since a "Diag my toyota" free android app with a cheap ELM327 OBDII dongle on my Toyota MR-S. (Yes, it's a jap one...)
It does give a direct value reading on few sensors like accelerator, clutch, etc... that could help people test if their sensors are working or not
It does allow to read ECU error but could not get it to work on my MR-S. THe non jap cars should be OK
If you have an ELM327, give it a try, it is nice to see the voltage range on the accelerator when you press so you know the normal range, so using two cars should allow to diagnose easier sensor issues by comparing...
Hope it helps...
I have one in Kings Lynn Norfolk.
Hiya, is there anyone in Inverclyde/Glasgow area with a reader please? My management light just came on tonight have never had any issues with ECU in the past. Anyone who can help would be most grateful
Thanks

Hi, am in Bray, ireland. I have a 2003 SMT MR-S and can now read the codes and settings thanks to a cheapo usb cable with techstream.
Just a quick heads up... If you have an Android Phone you can download an App called Torque from the marketplace. It is VERY VERY good. Not only can you use it to scan for codes you can use it to display realtime data.
Pair this up with a cheap bluetooth OBD reader (Expect to pay around £15) and you have your own code reader.
I've erased loads of codes on a variety of cars at work and I charge £5 a pop...

Good idea. To make that easier, I suggest making sure all the PIDs are selected that you want to log, then start logging a run and email it to yourself. Then open it in ScanXL for some pretty graphs s:) :) s:)

I got one from ebay which works a treat:

Had a play with it today with the Torque app, really cool. The Head Up Display reverses the screen so you can lay your tablet/phone on the dayshboard and it reflects in the windscreen the right way round - great idea :-) :-) :-)
I also had a couple of error codes from unplugging the MAF which I have cleared using this setup.

I was thinking of buying an OBDII code reader,anybody any recommendations.My Roadster is a 2000 and one I saw on ebay,a U480,which stated that it was for 2001 onward Toyotas so I need to make sure the one I buy is compatible with my car.
I got this one:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/301041319930.
Only cost £6.50, and seems pretty multi-purpose. Gives clear results with the Torq software that was included, and easy to use on your android phone via bluetooth.
The 2001 thing may refer to the change in US law that year, stating that all cars had to be fitted with an OBD socket. Just a thought...
I can be added to the list now, just ordered one which should be with me by this weekend, I'm Essex/Suffolk border (Wivenhoe) and often down in Berkshire as well s:) :) s:)

Anyone in a need for reading code in Poole/Bournemouth/Christchurch in Dorset, I'm Imre and have a code reader. I can read codes and delete them. I use Torque app on Android what I can only recommend for everybody! Not available for iOS... s:-( :-( s:-(
Ive just purchased one so add me to the list, im in Melksham Wiltshire s:) :) s:)
I've just got one and am in Tamworth.
Only problem I had is that when I plugged into the mr2 all the text was backwards, like mirror writing! I can still read it though. Tried it in my celica and no problem so not know why it is. My partner suggested that it's because the mr2 is back to front being rear engined!!
You can add me. Am a snap on dealer.carry 4 demo machines on board. Near stansted airport
Hi all,
Been a while!
Having just got the dreaded engine check light, rather than immediately take my mr2 to the junkyard for £100, I decided to buy a U480 obi two kanobi scanner.
Despite looking a like Fisher Price 'my first Walkie-talkie' it worked rather well and kindly informed me of a p0135 error.
Anyway, now I own one, PM if you need a scan around south London Se27.
Cheers all
Dave
Cabled and Bluetooth, Steve, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire.

That one will work or you can get a small bluetooth or wireless one that works with an app on your phone.
Oh and I've got one if you're stuck for a read?
Fab thanks tricky! I'll order this one then as will be handy to have in future when each O2 sensor dies!!
Thanks lots for your kind offer ☺
You can add me to the list now - Newcastle upon Tyne

Dreaded engine management light has appeared so if there is anyone with a reader who can confirm the O2 sensor has died that would be a great help (West Mids/Black Country/Worcester areas).
Thanks
I could post you mine if you like, or else for a tenner with torque it's a sound investment!

I hope to have some further OBD2 capabilities soon allowing to do a bit more logging and ECU activities in the North East for anybody needing such services (logging fueling, fault codes and freeze frames in detail, key programming, triggering etc etc)

Hi all
I've got a lead, lap top and software to check codes - It's a free download so can't reset faults but i'm working on that!!
In Monton near Salford Royal Hospital
cheers
Steve
now got scantool for the laptop so can reset!!
Oh can put me on the list.
Can stop and do checks on may home from work , for anyone along the Gloucester-sharpness canal to Cheltenham.
Have various readers including factory kit for other makes.(gm/vag/volvo)
got the elm327 wifi which is my favourite.
got techstream but my subscription is out, so it'll only do code reading and such like (pita to set up).
I don't keep the software installed for others so will need notice or can just drop the leads off.
or you can borrow an wifi/bluetooth dongle type OBD tool. pickup from home work or drop off if in-between/nearby.
I guess like just about everyone else on here, I have one. A genuine EML327 bluetooth.
Use Torque Pro (paid for it, hey, it's £2.95 and compared with the other moneypit things.....)
Looking for a decent Windows application. I have a useful enough lightweight laptop.
Just about to put an Android head unit in the car too, so will have it directly connected.
anyway, I'm in South Beds, near Milton Keynes and work in Hemel if anyone ever needs one.
U480 reader on Leamington
I've got one - can't remember what brand. It was cheap but works fine.
I live near Alton, Hampshire and work in Cosham
do you mean you are looking for people who own a basic OBD2 code reader, that can clear codes. They cost about £15 on ebay. s:shock: :shock: s:shock:
Most people do have them now.
But when this thread started it was a means of helping those that did not have one. A means of finding someone local to help.
That is the friendly helpful nature of this forum.
of course, just seen the dates, sorry! s:oops: :oops: s:oops:
Does the 1ZZ need any specific diagnostic tools or data cards? My Isuzu Trooper 3.0 twin can 16V TD needs a Tech 2 scanner to do most diagnostic work s:shock: :shock: s:shock:

Any ODB reader should be able to basic diagnostics unless you have an MR-S(Import) as these use a different protocol
thats good news then! I've got a standard OBD2 code reader, already used it 5 times to clear the P0135 fault, until I realised the wrong O2 sensor had been replaced, they charged the previous owner a fortune as well, BMW main dealer s:shock: :shock: s:shock:

Actually, some of the cheap bluetooth dongles don't work. I bought 3 to get one that worked with a UK standard car.
Hi
You can add myself to the list, located in Solihull (soon to be near Stratford due to house move) and I have an OBdII reader. Used on my mr2 to diagnose and reset so is all good.
Nick
Just to say, that from just the ELM329 Bluetooth as well as the U480 I now have the Toyota Diagnostic software on my laptop. Works a charm on my car, doesn't just read PCM but also all other modules.
Let me know if anyone needs scanning, I'm located in Coventry.
Me now.......in Gatwick

That's actually very handy. People often ask for that as it's different from "normal" readers
I've got a couple of obd readers that work well if anyone needs one in the Glastonbury area
For what its worth I purchased a ELM327 V2.1 ODB 11 Bluetooth Car Scanner for £5.79 off E-bay (free post ) and a download app. Works like a dream and really easy to use with my mobile phone .
Do compatability checks with any you find though .Most sellers have a dropdown list to show make and model and year .
Got one if anyone local stuck
you can add me Jacob deal, Kent
I have one too.
Located in Oxford. I have the Bluetooth Torque Pro ELM 327 which works using the android torque pro app. I have a 2004 MR2 (facelift).

edit: after my experience with the ELM327, I bought one of the cheap ones direct from China* as I fancy having one of these in each car, but willing to wait for the budget ones this time around - PM me if I forget to update this when it arrives late April'18, but ~£2 for the hardware (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B014WHK27W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) + ~£3 for Torque Pro seems amazing!
* I gather they're reasonable for pulling/resetting fault codes, but less reliable for running live dashboards as the Bluetooth sometimes fails...
Please add me as well. Should've done this long ago.

I have an ELM 327 wired and also a bluetooth one :)
If you need anything, I am in Basildon, Essex.
Cheers.
I have a code reader in the west yorkshire area, I will read anyones codes and give advice.
But at £18.50 you should think about buying one. Iv'e looked, Its scary the amount of readers there are and the price difference.
I do not have any connection with this code reader company and cant remember who I bought it off on ebay but I could find out.
It was £18.50 inc post and it reads all mr2 codes and does some live stuff (o2 sensor and injection stuff, it does not read air bag codes , maybe a beter model does that.
It is wired not bluetooth and is about the size of a large phone.
It is made by Creader. I worked at a car garage a couple of years ago and they had a car diagnostics tablet by the same people, the one at the garage was £1000, for £18.50 you can't go wrong.
There is no point buying somthing for £100+ because the mr2 is quite old there is a limit to what you can read with the standard ecu.

Most people buy the Bluetooth ones for less than £5 and then buy torque pro for android does almost everything you want .

Hi all
I bought an OBD 11 Bluetooth device a few years ago as we had two SEAT cars (now only one) made by Voltas.
Will this work with the MR2 to read codes or make any alterations? When I bought it I believed it to work with all VAG cars.

If I'm not mistaken that's the OBDEleven stuff that came out around 2014ish. It's very VAG-specific but maybe it will read codes via the standard OBD2 channels anyway.
You won't be able to adjust anything

TOPDON Topscan OBD2 bluetooth to their own software. Works quite well and although I've not tried it, should be able to clear safety fault codes like the airbag.
