    For Scanmaster being software only, which hardware would you recommend as the interface between the car and PC for this product?

    Scanmaster is actually also a unit if you can find them.. Let me see what I can dig up.

    Ok I guess the units are still a little more expensive than what you want to spend

    Anyone had any experience with this one?

    OBDLink Scan Tool -- OBDLink scan tool/OBD interface - ScanTool.net

    I'm think that you also need to purchase this software -- http://www.scantool.net/scanmaster.html

    After a couple of days of research, I am starting to lean towards this one:

    Amazon.com: Equus 3140 Innova Diagnostic Code Scanner for OBDI and OBDII Vehicles: Automotive Right under $200 including shipping.

    It's the only one that I can find that outright states that it can retrieve transmission diagnotic codes. Are there any other models from other brands that can do this?

    Designed to retrieve OEM Enhanced and Transmission diagnostic codes in all OBD2 (1996 and newer) and some of the most popular OBD1 (1981 to 1995) vehicles
