Works on all models with dual OBD ports (round 21 pin under the bonnet and a 19 pin under the steering wheel)
Locate your round obd port in the engine compartment.
connect the two pins as described in the photo.
close cap and get inside the car.
locate 19 pin obd and connect your device.
as you see in the first photos, without “cheating” the round obd with the wire the scanner just reads 7 modules. After connecting the two pins on the round obd the scanner reads all available codes.
hope this helps and saves you some money (cost of 21 to 19 adaptor).
cheers

Btw my scanner is an iCarsoft BMM V.2 and I can only vouch for this model as a “working solution” with the “cheat”.
