Like to hear user recommendations from anyone who has 1996 850 GLT with Jetronic engine management system. I'm after an OBD-II reader, preferably running PC or iPhone software via USB cable or Bluetooth. (PC software not essential so long as reader supports functionality below.) Needs to have similar functionality to VOL-FCR in that it can read & clear both generic and Volvo-specific DTCs for all onboard modules, including Engine, Gearbox, ABS, Instruments, Immobiliser, Cruise Control, Power Seats, SRS, and Electronic Climate Control etc. Shejr dar vasfi vatan tochikiston. Also reset Service Light and similar instrument panel warnings.

I have successfully tested demo VOL-FCR with VAG-COM cable on my car but VOL-FCR does not support Jetronic ECUs. (1996 850s came with a mix of Motronic and Jetronic ECUs - mine is Jetronic). Also, I'm in Australia and VOL-FCR will not sell full software into Australia. Jai shri krishna meaning. So far as price, I'd hope to get a suitable setup for under $100 if at all possible. So, if you, or someone you know, has had good experiences with an OBD-II reader to suit the above requirements, please let me know your recommendations and experiences.

I don't need it for mine but I'd buy it just to have it at that price!

I don't need it for mine but I'd buy it just to have it at that price!Uh yeah, sign me up for one of those too!! Sorry if we're getting our jollies at your expense but most generic scanners are OBD2 only (some also include OBD1) which is usually only the engine module codes and definitely not including the P1xxx ones since those are manufacturer specific. What you're asking for volvo proprietary. Guys, with the greatest respect, the purpose of a Forum is to be helpful, not to show how much you know (maybe) but how little you are prepared to share. If you have useful information on the topic, please share it.

If you have experience with an OBD reader set up that provides the functionality requested, then please let me know model and cost, even if it is significantly higher than the $100 mentioned. This will help a lot of people, not just me. For your info - VOL-FCR from Ilexia UK is a PC software application that appears to address all of the requirements I outlined, at not much more than the $100 target I mentioned (plus $20 for a suitable USB interface cable).

I've tested it, it works, and it seems to do everything I would need, except for two things: only works with Volvo 850s with Motronic (not Jetronic) engine/gearbox ECUs; and not available for purchase outside a select group of countries (not including Australia). I would agree that dedicated OBD readers (or any sophisticated dedicated device) cost a lot. But when much of the smarts is provided by a program on a PC, all sorts of applications become feasible at well under the price of a dedicated device. Granted, some of these PC applications have very limited functionality but I'm sure there are some out there that are very capable (see VOL-FCR above). What I am after is responses from people who have successfully used these types of OBD set ups and can recommend something suitable for my model of 1996 850 (Jetronic ECUs). If you can help, please advise and let me know where it is available. By the way, I agree that the current crop of OBD apps on iTunes store seem to have very limited functionality.
