OBD2 Scan Tool - USB CAN Scanner: check engine

There's a similar one written about in this thread:
http://www.aulro.com/afvb/electronic...th-obd-ii.html

But that one is BlueTooth and "talks" to my on board laptop, so no wires trailing around, and also cheaper!

I bought this BlueTooth one, as you'll see from that thread, and I'm pretty pleased with it.
Has picked up a few issues with my Disco since, so I reckon its worth it for me.
Only downside, is it can't clear the dreaded "3 amigos" on the V8.
One thing I have come to realise is though, a lot (most?) OBD-II readers won't work the TD5's, but then they have the excellent Nanacom device instead....

Also from what I researched before my purchase, the ELM327 processor is the way to go with these things, which both these scanners have.

Cheers,
