I ended up going the the Pittsburg tester. T should be a higher quality tool and I’m sure this won’t be my last diesel. I should also note that the adapters don’t have a schrader valve in them like the U.S. General ones do and the fittings are larger so i

That’s about 10X less expensive for live data feeds than most code readers. Sounds cool. I do wonder about the blue tooth interface — seems it could be a source of problems depending on the android model, etc. The video seems to show really good communication, though other reviews I’ve seen describe some problems.

This happened to me before. I couldn’t not adjust the parking brakes in further. Actually the parking brake lines had frozen up probably due to road salt and lack of use.
