Can anyone recommend an app for scanning and clearing codes? I have the required wifi scanner that you need for an iphone but I'm not sure which apps are decent to scan and clear codes?

I tried "car scanner", it might have been a coincidence but when running the scan the car threw up a load of errors on the dash!

I would try and get a marque specific one if you can - for BMW, I highly recommend BimmerLink and BimmerCode and while the initial purchase price is fairly steep, the author is really responsive to help requests, etc, and added some additional features/fixes based on my feedback.

Just find a free one on the app store if all you want are OBD codes. Just be aware though, that OBD codes are the most basic and wont give out manufacturer specific codes.

The lights flashing up on the dash are all normal as the scanner cycles through the systems checking them.
