Scan tool question
I'm looking to buy a scanner to clear the air bag code on my DB9 I've gotten from removing the seats to do some cleaning.
I have read here that the Autel Eu702 is a good choice but I was hoping to get something that will also function with my DBS as well as my 2014 Range Rover Sport.
This is really my first venture into this world and I've got very limited knowledge here so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.. I like the price of the eu702 but if I need other tools for my other vehicles, obviously makes more sense to step up to a "better" choice perhaps..?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Autel
I picked up an Autel 802 on amazon for $191.00. It was brand new but the box was opened. Worked great on my DBS when I needed to diagnose an airbag sensor fault using Volvo XC90... Haven't tried it on my 09 Range rover sport SC yet but should work fine.

Thank you for your help.

That's an interesting question. MY13 is before the Daimler cross over. Most decent scanners have the ability to read communication protocols from the big five plus European and Asian... If you could find out which protocols are being utilized by verifying which pins are where at the connector then you can match up a scanner. I copied and pasted the info below from a website called: THE OBDII HOMEPAGE
http://www.obdii.com/connector.html
...As a rule of thumb, GM cars and light trucks use SAE J1850 VPW (Variable Pulse Width Modulation). Chrysler products and all European and most Asian imports use ISO 9141 or KWP2000 circuitry. Fords use SAE J1850 PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) communication patterns. All 2008 and newer model year vehicles use CAN.
There are some variations among captive imports such as the Cadillac Catera, a German Opel derivative, which uses the European ISO 9141 protocol. If you have first hand knowledge of other such variations, please send them in and, together, we can build a more complete listing.
