What Free Software

[Polski]

Hi Guys, been on the forum for a while, just as a guest, as I was not a Volvo owner, but now I am....so officially.....Hello fellow Volvo owners. I'm Lee, and this is my first post.

I've bought a Bluetooth OBDII reader and it came with a CD with lots of different software. but true to form, I do not have the foggiest clue which would work best on my S60.
Here is a few from the disk:
EasyODBII
OBD2Spy
OBD2Scope
OBD-DIAG
ScanTool
ScanMaster

If anyone has any idea's about the above or of another software that would work nicely with S60 04plate

Just been playing with all the software in the above list, and none of them will work with my volvo, the torque app works a treat on my android phone. but would still like to be able to scan the ECU with my laptop>

i tried with my laptop but would not connect as well but as the obd2 was only a few quid gave up just use my phone laptop will not do anything extra.

i use torque for readout of car stats and carista for reading and clearing codes as torque would not clear codes after a few weeks of use.

i have now upgraded to vida and a dice only cost £70 and can do so much more its also doubles as a haynes manual of sorts.

its a pitta to get running and i had to use 2011a as i dont have a copy of any windows pro and my laptop is to low spec to run a vm.

The best software is Torque Pro on android... If you're looking for a cheap 3rd party one as it's 2.99 but is a superb program.

Purchased pro version of torque, brilliant app, used on other halfs cougar to get a fault reading, really did the trick. just ordered some software off of ebay, gunna give that a try on the laptop. thanks guys for the responses.
