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

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

I'll pass.
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

Main functions

Reading/clearing fault codes from all control units in the vehicle
Text display analogous to original manufacturer texts
Diesel/petrol particulate filter regeneration (DPF/GPF)
Inspection and maintenance of the AdBlue system
EOBDII diagnostics analogous to vehicle manufacturer
Sensor calibration during replacement
Control of actuators
Pump
Motors/Drives
relay
valves
Locks Opening/Closing (Central Locking)
lighting

Display of parameters
Temperatures
Press
Fill quantities
Pollution level of the diesel particulate filter
AbBlue parameters
Sensor signals

Executing test routines, e.g., fault diagnosis, …
Fuel injector coding
Coding, calibrating sensors
Coding intelligent or complex components (teaching, etc.)
AbBlue maintenance functions (venting, filling, rinsing, testing, …)
Determination of the control unit identification information
Replacement functions (ECU replacement)
Part number

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.
