I am looking at perhaps investing in a (non-professional) diagnostic code reader for my 2018 Sprinter based motorhome.
Ideally, if such a kit exists, one which can clear the annoying faults that, whilst not dangerous to people or engine, force you to take the vehicle for an expensive - and in our experience unnecessary - fault clearance.
I am no technician and a relatively easy one to navigate would be good.
Any recommendations from edperience gained would be much appreciated.
Many thanks.

As an initial cheaper way forward you might try the 'Torque' app on an Android.
It can monitor a fair few things live while on the go.
It can't clear as many faults as iCarsoft, or carry out DPF functions.

You would need to spend £5 or so on an EML327 BT sender.

While basic it can be useful.

Is there an Apple version?

Dunno, how would you use an app on an apple?
I've learnt the very obvious skills to use it on a marshmallow, on a lollipop, even a chocolate biscuit or 4. I haven't a clue how this could work on fruit. Sorry.
