Just as the subject says. Is there a good cheap OBDII scanner out there that works well. Thanks.

 

I have an Autoxray OBDII scanner I bought a few years ago. It works great but it wasn't exactly cheap, I paid around $250 for it. If you have a laptop there are cheaper programs you can use, I didn't have a laptop so I bought one of these. There is a cheap "code reader" available for OBDII for under $100 but it just reads and resets codes, it doesn't scan and I believe it's from Harbor Freight.

 

yea, if you have a laptop checkout obdii.com that's the scanner I have and it works great...

 

Well, I have a laptop, so that's a plus.
Also, is this AutoTap easy to use? If you have a code does a message pop up saying what it is? Is the program user friendly? Thanks.

 

Check out http://www.obd-2.com I've been using that software/cable for over a year and it's great. You can scan codes, log data, and monitor sensors. As far as I can tell it does everything Autotap does for half the price.

 

Is it pretty easy to use? How about the company, did you have any problems with them? Anyone else have this program? Thanks a lot guys.

 

i think for $189 i got mine at advance auto, can read and erase the codes......

 

I use OBD-II scantool software from obdii.com. I agree with the replies, it works great.
