ya I've had this issue multiple times just want to know whats the best tool to buy to hook up to car and read the problem and be able to clear it any suggestions that have popped up recently

Oh okay. I suggest a bluetooth dongle that works with the Torque app (at least on Android). You can find info on that app which will give you the dongles it supports. I forget which one I have.

I got this one a few years ago it seems to be a very decent one for the price.

Nice that will clear check engine lights I'm assuming and vdc slip abs

I ended up going through my Amazon order history. I got this one:

It's plugged in 100% of the time and I can open the "Torque" app on my Android phone at any point to get live data or reset codes/lights, etc.

I just had the abs, vdc, and slip lights come on this week. They go out when I restart and may or may not come back on while driving.

The dealer is checking it out Tuesday along with a couple other issues - RF tire pressure sensor fails and NAV map spins, both intermittent issues.

UPDATE:

For the abs, vdc, and slip issue the dealer replaced the brake light switch at the brake pedal which they said was causing the system to fail.

Hopefully they didn't charge u

They had it 2 days because they had to order the part. They gave me a loaner Q50. I had to pay my warranty deductible plus tax, so was $107.
