Yeah but, you say "live data". This problem is intermittant and never
happens when it's taken to the garage (as is the way with these things).


While not exactly the cheap option, (but no more than an hours labour at
a main dealer) I've heard good reports on these;

Just plug it into your OBD socket and it records all error codes over
24hours, then plug it into your USB on the PC to view the record.

I'm just waiting for a dodgy intermittant problem so I have an excuse to
buy one


I doubt that it would rcord aircon faults though, as they won't register
on generic OBD-II.
