Buy that little sucker...or if you want to spend more, get Dice/Vida.

 

This confirmed works with S60R's? Just making double sure!

 

Also, drafted and email to Autel:

Greetings,

I have your MS300 unit and I am trying to diagnose a CEL on my 2007 Volvo S60. It seems as though many people have had bad luck with the unit connecting to the Volvo CAN OBD2 port and seeing/clearing codes.

Examples:

Does Volvo have some proprietary lock on the ECU?

Any advice in getting the unit to work or shall I try to find another unit to read the code?

 

There is no "Lock" on the ECU...its just that autel sometimes works and sometimes doesnt. I have one too...lol.

And their support is pretty much non existant....so good luck

 

If you have an iPhone you must use a wifi obd2 reader and not the Bluetooth like the one posted above for androids.
The app on your phone is called torque and it is 4.99 on the App Store ad I believe the same on the android market.

And yes it definitely works on the R I have used the android and the iPhone version.

 

Yes sir. Confirmed working with andriod.
If you have an iPhone, it is a little different to set up.
There is also a free version of torque that I am using and it is fine to pull codes, plus extras!

 

I can confirm that Torque on Android works with my 04, but only partly. It'll read codes and let you reset the CELs but won't give you the real troubleshooting info you need to solve it. VIDA/DICE is the way to go if you really want to know what's wrong, down to the component. Plus you can many times test that component and see exploded parts diagrams. Torque with a OBD2-BT adapter is a good first tool to keep in your car but I still use my VIDA to get the extended details.

 

So it will give me like a P0102 or something like that so I can decipher what systems are wrong like my MS300? I have VIDA coming from China but it takes 3 weeks to get here!

 

I am on android. Thanks guys I appreciate it. Bummed that the unit I own doesn't work. Inconvenient for sure.

Will take to autozone for a read/clear and buy the bluetooth one for future use.

Thanks again.
