So save yourself monies and nerves, get a ELM cable for a tenner and be happy.

I have no need to use ids on my custom and i couldn't program keys etc so rarely go on it.
So an occasional home user won't want to spend serious money on it.
And i think forscan can access early euro 5 etc.
Otherwise 80 pounds at the dealer might be cheaper than the time and effort trying to get my own kit.
