OBD 2 scanner/reader for H6

Postby Montychristo » Fri Aug 19, 2016 8:30 am

I am looking to upgrade my OBD 2 scanner yet all the models and makes I have looked at do not cover the H6 engine and transmissions. What obd 2 are other members using for their h6 B Spec's.
I would also like it to read Peugeot/Citroen and Toyota as well. Most units would seem to cater for USA the market with nil H6 or European cars.

I realize OBD 2 were briefly covered a few years ago on this forum, scanners are upgraded and new models come on the market that may now cover the H6.

Will update if it works when delivered

What year h6? The early ones don't do OBD2 at all (only SSM?), the later ones do.
Big Bad Benny is an advocate for the BTSSM unit, available from the States.
It can read the SSM codes in a Subaru ontop of the normal OBD2 codes.

Im not sure if it can report the OBD2 codes from other vehicles as well though.
IF it is able to, Id get one for myself.
Benny, Can you help?
