    I have been trying to find a code scanner that is compatible with Ferrari and doesn't cost a small fortune. Specifically I wanted something that could pull data from the TCU and give me the clutch life info. I stumbled across an old post regarding the Autel AP200. This is a $59 Bluetooth dongle that works with an iPhone/android. You get can select 1 free manufacturer with the purchase, and Ferrari is one of the options. (additional manufacturers are approx $20) Once selected, it becomes quite a powerful Ferrari code reader. In addition to standard OBD2 stuff, it can pull data from the ECU and TCU. This includes clutch wear index and a number of other stats. It does live data and can even produce reports. I attached a report I generated from the TCU of a F430 I found at a local dealer. Clutch wear index is at the bottom.

    I personally use Otofix. It utilizes Autel software. "Affordable" is relative though...of course we are on a Ferrari forum.

    Any recent reviews on the Autel AP200 scanner? I looked on Amazon and there are numerous models...most with scathing reviews. I would like this for my F430. Thanks, Denny
