OBD II scanner...feedback?

Post by ragingfish »

I was thinking of getting this OBD II scanner to keep on hand, in case I run into any problems with my CAI, or down the road -- just so I can diganose things myself.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 8790769Can anyone tell me if this looks to be of decent quality?Is it worht the $60 or so I might spend on it?

That's a cool one --I'd love to get one that plugs into the PC...I could plug it into my laptop and do time-lapse monitoring, and all those other fancy things...but then again, this is just a thing to have on-hand, for the rare occasion I get a CEL thrown in my face...

There's also the CarChip at http://www.davisnet.com/drive/products/carchip.asp.I haven't used it, but it seems to be getting some good reviews around the net: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=n ... +reviews.A bit more expensive though. Good luck!
