I have been looking around for a scanner which will allow reading, perhaps printing, and resetting of all DTCs in the MY15 VF SV6.
Engine, transmission and BCM etc.

Contributors with V8s seem to be able to use many scanners, whereas the alloytec V6 software seems to be butchered by Holden and very model specific, and not catered for in the aftermarket supplier scene.

I have got mixed messages from various sellers, so I'm looking for any users who are happy with their units.

Thanks in advance.

I have used the DashCmd app on the iPhone paired with a WiFi OBD2 cable (like: ELM327 Wifi OBD2 Interface CAR Diagnostic Scanner Tool Support Iphone Ipad PC | eBay) which I purchased from eBay.

I think the word is Bump ?

Any other members with an offering?

Thanks in advance.

Looks like the VF V6 is in nowhere land - still.

My VZ was not entirely supported, except by Tech2.

Does the VF (S1) V6 alloytec suffer the same fate?
Bugger!!!


I have access to a smart Samsung mobile, not an IPhone or equivalent. Uses android I reckon.

The trouble is this sort of stuff is best viewed on a Larger screen like a 16 inch Laptop.

Yeah but, getting the laptop secure on the windscreen isn't easy. 5" phone is fine :B
