Default ISO: An IOS App that can read ABS Codes

I've been using the OBD Car Doctor Pro app with my iPhone. Works well. Reads and clears all OBD codes. Cannot read ABS Codes. I know I can purchase a hard-wired reader that can read ABS codes, but was hoping someone had developed an app.

Does anyone know of such a product?

Thanks. $400! That's a crazy price point. Guessing the good folks at RoverParts are victims of poor marketing research/trapped in an expensive contract with the app maker. Thinking a $40 app and Bluetooth device would easily sell 10x a $400 unit. The Foxwell NT520 is half that price, seems to have most of the features, and for another $60 can hopefully unlock the mysteries of my other troubled vehicle, a V12 '01 Benz.

Not so much, it is not that easy to pull dealer specific codes. Almost every new vehicle requires a code reader that can pull the codes for their line so Ford needs a different reader code base from GM etc.

Low volume manufacturers like Land Rover etc will always be more expensive. And as most of that programming work is not done is SE Asia cheap ripoff/ knockoffs don't really exist.

You want a reader that works right and reports right - unfortunately that means we get to pay.

Autel scanners is the brand I am currently using. They are powerful and perform well. So far, they are the best OBD2 scanners I have obtained
