Good luck getting an Autel to read Omega codes. Will read live data though.

That's not to say the Autel isn't a good scan tool. It's read and erased codes from every car I've used it on except the Omega. Handy for me as I work on lots of cars but as said don't expect it to read Omega codes.

Wonder why it won't? 

Autel GS500 reads codes, erases codes, reads live data on mine, and every other FL omega I've tried with ease .. although it doesn't work on PFL, and has limited success on MFL .. its all to do with the OBDII standard .. if the car is not OBDII then the maxscan can't read it ..

Remember the facelift 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0l are still not EOBD/OBDII compliant

Perhaps I should have said "every other DBW omega I've tried with ease"  then ..

Still not technically correct, as it won't do the DBW 2.5TD U25DT or X25DT engines either.

The EOBD Omegas are 2.2 (petrol and diesel), 2.6 and 3.2

I got a little blue one that bluetooths to my phone and I run it with Torque. Works very well. £15 from a well known online book store. Small enough that I can run the car with it in and the fuse-panel shut.

yup they work well .. just DON'T forget to take it out once you've finished .... the test socket is always live, and it will flatten the battery in about 5 days ....  (or so I'm lead to believe ...  )
