Fingers crossed it's just something silly, especially if the battery has been disconnected it's maybe spat it's dummy out about something.
Talking of spur of the moment purchases, I hadn't done any research in to GT86s, so obviously I drove to the other side of the country and bought one.
I had the double din nav with JBL upgrade in my RCZ, so unless I'd spent silly money I probably would have lost audio quality.
Also, the flip up dash screen wouldn't have worked and I didn't fancy that.
Also, I'm unsure what's showing a fault. The car itself or the new radio?
The "proper reader" was this planet/diagbox? The dealer equipment.
If not, it could well be worth your while slipping a helpful local member who has it a fiver for a scan to gather correct information.
In my experience generic readers (no matter how much they cost) can be hit or miss.
I paid...
What are they using to diagnose it? Ideally you want dealer level equipment.
Further to that, if it was on correct diagnostic equipment, did they tell you the codes they retrieved?
Having had experience in the past of "generic equipment" and it costing me a fair few quid after it guessing at...
I completely agree with this. As long as everything seems right just do it.
I'd organised to view 3 GT86s in one day (lots of travelling but I wanted one)
After some toing and froing over price (mainly the trade in value of my RCZ) I bought the 3rd one and drove it home.
I was going to suggest plastidip. At least if you change your mind you've only spent a couple of quid and it is easily removed.
I used it on a few interior parts on my 86 before I bought the oem black trim.
In the wet weather the traction control on my GT 86 stays firmly on.
It does it's best to slide around with it turned on if I'm being a bit heavy handed.
On my rcz I never turned it off once.
