Finally, I figure out how to do diag in a free way
Few days ago, I didn?t know cellphone can do the diag on car until I heard that from someone in forum, then I keep asking how is that going, and today I think I may be totally know how it works, and What surprises me most is that the android app torque is free, which I used to be told the price is $25.
Now if you don?t mind, let me show you how it work with the adapter elm327(I am new, please don?t judge me):

There's an app in the Google Play store called Torque. There's a free and a paid version. Install the app on you android or symbian, and then connect to the elm327 bluetooth OBDII reader (3 .pdf may help) and read fault codes, clear them, and show RPM and other stuff. It's pretty cool and it works.
Anyway, I really like to do this stuff on my phone, convenient

Good 1st post Phybbe.
For those not in the know it is a way of using your phone for Vehicle Diagnosis. The Elm327 adapter which should cost about ?11 plugs in to your car's diagnostics socket and using the free app Torque you can get the readings on your phone. This is much cheaper than going to a garage.

well if you return, then how the chuff do you get this to work on a windows based MOBILE phone?

i guess you phone has to have a full size USB port as well, never seen one of those unless you have to use an adapter.

not sure if this was an advertising post anyway as i had to delete the live links from it to the sites where he is selling the stuff.
