sinkrun Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I think its time to get one of these tired of begging to use one. I was looking on ebay and see them from 50.00 to 300.00 will the cheap ones work and if not what do I need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinkrun Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 IS this it, says it comes with software for PC the wife has a android phone but with the terribly bad service at the new house we may be getting rid of them? I need to know for sure if it will work with a laptop. http://www.ebay.com/itm/SMALLEST-ELM327 ... ls&vxp=mtr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1987Comanche Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I bought an OBD Link SX USB to OBD II adapter and it came with some basic OBD WIZ software. I can see the basic parameters everyone mentioned, active & pending codes, and I/M flag status. They have specific software packages for GM, Ford, etc but I haven't taken the plunge. It's not as good as the Snap On Solus or OTC/SPX scan tools but it was around $40 (as opposed to $4,000+). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
