Where to buy OBDII diagnostic reader?
Where is the best place to get an OBDII code reader? I've been getting the SES light since installing a pulley and plugs and would like to be able to figure out what is going on w/o making a trip to the dealer.
Auterra:smile: Yes, it can clear ALL error codes

I made a post a while back about a few of the different OBDII scanners:

I think the Auterra was the most popular back then too.

Why wait until something lights up? If it's something serious, you'd want to know right away, not wait for your order then figure out how to use it

the autotron was out of panic from my P0172 off the Endyn installation off an old MTH and the peake was cuz I didn't know about the auterro and decided to support a vendor

Don't quote me but I think so. You'll need to read their site carefully and make your own decision. I would go with the CAN version which most new vehicles are migrating to. Mine works in all the GM vehicles I take home and definitely the Mini.

Auterra will work with any car. i have the one by Autoenginuity. Works on my palm or my laptop. Also has a bluetooth adaptor so I can read from my Palm Tungsten without wires. Way cool
