I'm ready start spending some intimate time with the CAN bus...

There is a Swiss OBD2 port connector that seems to have a lot of features to reset error codes and read them, custom made for the Grenadier. Planning to buy one and see how far I can go with this: https://globeguard.ch/produkt/globeguard-basic-ineos/

Interesting option. It seems to do most things, if it had service reset it would be a purchase from me.

I saw some feedback from Black Sheep:

We took the device with us on our trip from Switzerland to Dubai and were able to test it extensively. Once everything is installed, it works flawlessly. Updates are released almost every two weeks, and with each update comes new features and functions. If you can convince your Ineos dealer to get the same device, they can even access your vehicle's electronics from the other side of the world and help you out of a jam. We are so convinced by the device that we will soon be offering it in our online shop.

Something like this please

"Standard diagnostics ... WITHOUT POSSIBLE FUTURE EXTENSIONS."

I'll pass.

I had a look but it doesn’t mention service reminder reset or TPMS setting. Maybe it does those things and will be interesting to find out more.

I think lost in translation and they mean not expandable

No, because basic devices are only available for one vehicle brand. Changing the licensed vehicle brand is possible for a fee.

Ah - makes more sense. I wish it provided more insight into what the device can actually do. The $50 OBD reader from Amazon can read and clear codes.

Edit - NVM I see the list.

They list them, I don't think I can do most of these things with a generic reader

I found that after I posted.

I have be honest, I'm not sure what some of that actually means though.

Back when I still had my F150, I used "FORScan" which was an amazing setup that provided access to essentially every function possible on a Ford vehicle.
