OBD2 App - KZTE
Hi All, i have seen a few posts on the use of OBD2 wifi/Bluetooth scanners with mixed reviews. It seems the unit does (can...) work on the KZTE and does (can...) work with iOS. I see people do not recommend the Torque app. Are there any suggestions on what app to use with an iPhone? Thanks in advance.

Re: Immobiliser hooting - KZTE
So I think I have solved the mystery! I have a loose wire on my headlight plug, and when the light is off the car hoots as a warning of an issue. If the light is on, then everything is normal.

Are there any brands to stay away from or are the generic ones nowdays fine.

Re: 2nd Battery (Neg) terminal
Thanks Cassie,
I was thinking that connecting it onto that earth point was the best option as there is a nice thick copper cable going direct onto the battery, so in essence would just be extending the cable by a few inches?
