SF bay area only: OBD-II scanner?
Sorry to use the general R56 forum but the NorCal forum is pretty dead.
I need a recommendation for somebody or someplace with an OBD-II scanner tool for the R56. My normal shop is BR Racing in Los Gatos but their tool doesn't seem to want to sync up with my car. Can anyone recommend a shop in the south bay / peninsula area to have some codes cleared? (besides the dealer?
)
thank you!

Some auto supply stores provide that service. I've seen signs for it in several around Monterey. Or get yourself a ScanGaugeII. You can read error codes and clear them. It also provides you with four simultaneous gauge readouts while you drive. You choose from a variety available in the OBC. I usually use it for coolant temp, boost (MAP), mpg, and mph. It will also give you intake temp, ignition delay, rpm, voltage, and other readouts.
Another nice feature is the automatic daily trip meter. It measures max rpm, average speed, average mpg, etc. Resets when the car is off for 8-10 hrs. You can read the current data, or yesterday's data.
