OBD key (or some other OBDII bluetooth adapter // there are many options in ebay) will do the same thing when combined with a new smartphone.

I have a scangauge in my non csl car, they are very useful,as it just reads all the info your engine ecu can see - invaluable in a badly equipped ford

packaging wise its a bit tacky, and nowadays you can get some handy toys for your phone as alex says...

"it just reads all the info your engine ecu can see"

Not quite, it just reads a very small subset of information as defined by the OBDII standard :D

I had one in a previous non CSL car also .

Was good for resetting fault codes and keeping an eye on intake temps.
