code reader recommendations?
 

Hi ft86-maintenance! Looking for recommendations for a code reader. I've been getting by with OBDLink LX + Torque for a while, but it's slow and cumbersome, and it doesn't read ABS codes. I currently have ABS+TC lights on and I'd like to try and diagnose it.

Any recommendations for a reliable code reader that can also read (& clear?) the ABS module codes?

Thanks.

I personally use the "cracked" Toyota Techstream cable/software combo:

It works on the BRZ.

Looks awesome. What do you need on the software side to run this?

Installing the included software onto your laptop and connecting the cable from the PC to the OBD port, easy peasy :)

Does this let you change settings like the auto headlight sensitivity?

hmm I wonder if this works through a VM on Mac

AFAIK from other Toyota products, it should work. I haven't tried it yet since my car is still in storage and haven't found time to tend to her needs :P

Perhaps this will help:

Well if it has the ability on other cars I'd assume it'll work on the BRZ, I'll give it try. Thanks for the info!
