In the workshop manual there is a guide for reading the fault codes, as far as I know there is no cable to read them from a computer.

I stand corrected, I thought the feature didn't work with the magna.

Mate, check out this thread: http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/showthread.php?t=80732&page=1
I know it's a 380 thread but this gadget might just work with a 3rd gen Magna.
Long story short, but I ended up with both a bluetooth and USB version of this gadget, and it works a charm on my 380. Well, the USB version that is, my lappy isn't bluetooth enabled so the bluetooth version is not much use to me.
KJ.
