Carly ODB Scanner for V8V?

[dvdmsn]

Has anyone used a Carly ODB scanner on a V8V? Or for that matter, any other scanner?

I’m curious as to whether it throws up any interesting (& useful) diagnostic insights…

I use a Foxwell NT530 with AM specific software, it does everything that I need.

As above..nt530 with Aston software does pretty much all I need

Like many things pushed by our “friends” on YouTube, it’s worth checking the reviews before purchase.

Does the fox well system do the same job as Astons AMDS?

Thanks,
John

Nope, the Foxwell is an advanced OBDII tool it does much more than an off the shelf generic OBDII reader, with many more AM specific parameters supported, but its no substitute for full factory diagnostics.

Thanks all for your feedback, Bogie... is there a list anywhere of the AM parameters the Foxwell offers? Can't seem to find anything concrete...

Carly is a pile of rubbish, it throws up fault codes that don't even exist and has you running around on a wild goose chase.
...then there's the annual subscription - it's a rip-off.

I've heard good things about the previously mentioned Foxwell

However I use the iCarSoft CR V2.0 scanner for all of my cars (BMW, Jag, Range Rover & V8V) and its a great piece of kit. You need to download the Ford software to talk to the Aston's Engine Management Computer, and the Volvo software for the other ECU's (all free to download) and it works

Cardiag works well on the Aston. Carly does not work.

Never seen a list of manufacturer specific, but know that Foxwell have added features with software releases over time. Not sure about support for the post 2019 Astons though.

I've only used mine a few times over the years to verify basic faults like O2 sensor. There is so much info available on it, but I couldnt tell you which is AM specific or would be available on a generic OBD2 tool

Overview of features is listed on sites like https://www.diagnostic-world.com/pages/Aston_Marti...

Thanks Bogie, got one on order!
