Question Code Reader Recommendations

Looks for a code reader that will work on my Rapide and other cars too. Any suggestions?

Just ordered a Foxwell NT530. Thanks @bavarianstance @AM4884

What does "Expandable up to 5 car brands" mean in the production description?

The NT530 can hold multiple programs for different makes at the same time. Currently I have Aston Martin and JLR on mine and it’s just a matter of connecting to the car and running the right program.

Just wanted to let people know that if you want a scanner mostly for misfire troubleshooting then you don't need a model specific scanner like what Foxwell sells. You're wasting your money (and unnecessarily supporting a Chinese company). You can see individual misfire counts with standard OBD2.

Hi,
I find that my NT530 with Aston option has selection for ASM clutch bleed and reset engagement statistic. (Vantage 2006~)
I haven't activated it but if it really works it saves a trip or tow to dealership when ASM engage counter reach the clutch wear limit and disable the car (or so I heard).
You will still eventually need new clutch though.
