I was having some problems with a smartphone based OBD2 tool. So, I was bored of all the problems and no support.
Then I bought a Maxicom MK808BT, and here you have very good custom support. And for no additional costs software for most cars in the world.

So, as we are here, I just tested it on my new 2020 F-Type and got 8 Faults. Big bunch for a brand new car, but I must yet understand
what he want to tell me.

Not uncommon. I regularly see dozens of codes. Are those historical, permanent or pending?
Does your scanner tell you the mileage of when the error occurred like the SDD does?

I would erase everything and see if anything comes back. I have looked at enough cars with the SDD to realize all cars will have a boat load of codes because of the complexity of the system.
Just like looking at an event log on your computer. Many things happen and are logged but so much is just caused by temporary conditions that don't indicate any kind of failure.

You are totaly right. I made an "Quick Erase" and they are all gone. Concerning milage of the error, I am not sure. But it allows diagnostic and service on most cars in the world, included my other cars.
