What sort of money does these go for and are they more common than the crypton act 1?
I didn't realise that there was more than one code reader capable of doing the SPI!!

I won the one in the link above - and he is selling another one at present also...
http://cgi.ebay.co.u...id=p3286.c0.m14
I am uncertain if later mini's still use a 3pin or more modern OBD type connector
I am sure I read somewhere in literature I have later mini's have an OBD style port inside near the steering wheel column but don't quote me on that but I think then your looking at the Crypton Act I.
I would very much advise finding the Port on the mini 1st - Mine was joined to the Relay Pack but covered by a heatshrink cap
took me 2 months to stumble on it lol but that was the 3 pin connector that goes with the ebay linked item.
As for the unit - Pleased with it, has a pre-check - live data - & check all.
Under Live data it tells you RPM / Lambda / Air temp etc
Live check - does a series of checks also, various relays (Injector/fuel pump/carbonCan/aircon clutch)
Temp Guage test hi/lo / (stepper motor) throttle test etc etc
*** Only Issue I had was I had no clue what so ever where to connect the power lead seeing as the battery is in the boot
so cheated and feed it 12v from something else.
You'll need to identify a source of power under the bonnet to connect the power lead.

I usually use the 12v feed to the starter or a jump lead to the battery in the boot.
