Using the CC lines is my fallback position. I might just do that anyway.

Is it better to buy a second hand OR new-dubious-sh!te-chicom-quality clockspring? My horn button has stopped working. They both cost more or less the same price.

Pscan or knockoff delphi unit. Everything else at the same price is just ****e. Especially icar****e.

It is actually really hard for a new FL1 owner to figure out what diagnostics systems will work with the FL1. Information is scattered across the net and nobody seems to give a clear answer. By far the cheapest option is a a knockoff delphi ds150 interface from China with dodgy software...

Bit pricey for me! Thanks anyway.
