Looking for REAL OBD2 / CAN Bus Experts

As I said above. Clearing normal fault codes is possible, I've wrote a program so I can do it all the time by myself. I didn't faked anything, these were active DTCs and I was able to clear them!
But for write access to the ECU's and of course the DDE/DME as well, you'll need SecurityAccess - this is only possible via the Bosch Grade-X !!!
Yeah totally understand I'm about to look into buying the Bosch unit..... My thought was the level of fault was being cleared? Like maybe you can trip a Airbag fault and see if it can clear.

I know there will be an Airbag error when you disconnect the starter battery while the ECU's are still active. This is a typical scenario when you put your car in a shipping container, the guys who are handling this just disconnect all the batteries. Then when unboxing the car at it's destination harbor, you'll have this annoying Airbag error showing up all the time - could only be cleared at an INEOS workshop.

I think I'll try to replicate this Airbag error - let's try if I can clear it by my own now! :sneaky: - that would be a great use case !

Exactly what my thought was as well
 
The globeguard can do the below, I have tested some of it and can read live data but as I’m in the Cayman Islands with no dealer here I don’t want to brick the car by mistake !

reading live data is easy, clearing fault codes works only if you know all the ECU's (generic OBD2 readers can't) - and both features are easy to implement (I've done it). Besides that, just look at this "feature list" and compare it to any other car maker they support - it's an exact 1:1 text copy, not a single Grenadier specific feature is mentioned, there is no detailed documentation available. And honestly, for this price tag it's an extremely overpriced OBD2 device for just "reading fault codes & clearing it", IMHO - but this device is currently the only on the market which is able to access all the Grenadier ECU's and read/clear fault codes! So, good for all you are living out of reach of an INEOS workshop.
