Does anyone have experience of using the AA Vixa device?
You plug it into your car, connect to an app and it monitors your car's 'health'
Thanks

    Four quid a month for an eOBD dongle.

    They're that much one-off - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/316515160838

    The difference is that the AA one gives you some fluffy guff "explanation" of any fault codes, whereas you might have to do a little bit of research with generic fault code apps.

    They're a great way of doing fault-code diagnostics on the cheap with something you can just keep in the car.

    Four quid dongle + free smartphone app

    I use Scanmaster on Android - there's plenty of others.
