What Code Scanner?

I am looking to get a code scanner, and wonder if anyone has a recommendation and/or experience with one? I have been getting the SES light on, and would like to be able to check the code and clear it. I would also like to be able to monitor other components of my car's performance.

I just got This Digimoto Software and it is really handy. It is $120 plus shipping on the site but digimoto also sells them for $107 on ebay shipped ($99 buy it now plus $8 shipping). It not only tells you error codes (and reset) but also logs data and does dyno and 1/4 mile times.

I'm going to get the BIM-COM program that www.ross-tech.com is coming out with. I also have a MK IV Jetta that uses the Vag-com interface (same company) and swear by it.

Went ahead and ordered the AutoEnginuity package. The have a bluetooth option, so I can connect via wireless to both my laptop and Treo (and no cables).

I'll post more after I use it for a bit.

Rignt now I have a 600, but the 650 comes out on Verizon end of this week. The 650 supports bluetooth, and per the AutoEnginuity website, works with their bluetooth module and software. I hope it works as well as I want it to.

I purchased the AutoEnginuity bluetooth package back in January. Works awesome.
