I did a search and couldn't find any relevant information on this - I found this site http://www.diydiagnostics.com/. They have some pretty reasonably priced scanners compared to a lot of other tools I found online.

Has anyone purchased from these guys?

Does the product work as advertised, and any issues with shipping or anything?

Thanks,
Joe

 

$32 - Holy sh** - I paid over $200 for mine (it looks a lot like the one they are selling for $66). Their prices look good.

 

Watch out for the simple low cost units that just read code numbers and do little else.

Real diagnosis of engine/tranny /abs etc require the ability to actually read the voltages from sensors and observe the waveforms.

The best units use laptops to store a large software program and a specialty cable [$50-$80] to interconnect OBD2 port with laptop/palm etc.

A quality digital VOM with 3.5 digits or more with a 15-20 ampere dc current position is often necesssary in trouble shooting sensors.

 

look into the ELM 323

for a laptop, data logging is key and there are a lot of free apps

I have one and love it.
