my mate has a Launch X431 bluetooth one, was about £400 i think and there are ebay china copies too, and does pretty much everything. lets you do most of the stuff the Snapon Solus one does and it's about 10% of the cost! (we've also got one of them with all the keys, good kits but not cheap by any stretch)

depends on your idea of cheap but you'll get a used one cheaper

you'll struggle to get anything in fairness to work with the 6 other than decent stuff due to the obd mode

for £50 i'd be expecting nothing better than the cheap 205/p1 306 draper flashing code ones!

usually requires peugeot planet (pp2000) for the 6 but have seen other things work

A mate of mine has bought a version of the delphi software on ebay with obd interface for 52 quid. He has loaded it onto a laptop and it can do almost anything! Cars vans trucks and buses. Resets electric handbrakes, adjusts electronic speed limiters on bmws etc really good for a fraction of what the real system costs
