Most good ones will be around 150 bucks, most should be able to read trans codes, ABS codes and even show live data.

i just want a code scanner to read trouble codes and erase, show live datai found US703 is suitable for american car, like GM, Ford, Chrysler etc.
for example this one MaxiScan US703 Code Scanner Reader Free shipping
want to confirm if this US703 work well with my Pontiac G8, 2009
any one got this US703 supported car list??

Maybe email the manufacturer. Bet they'd have a list.

Try OTTO SCAN if you have a PDA cheap. I use it all the time at work for small quick stuff, no need for MODiS most of the time.

It does WAY more then your standard Craftsman Obd2 style scanner. Shows you live information, data logging, KR, codes and so on.

They constantly update it and are adding new features all the time.

where can get that $25 the bluetooth obd2 scanner？
what's that Autocom Pro?
but still $149
New AUTOCOM CDP Plus 2011.03 for Cars,Trucks, OBD2 with Bluetooth

How was autocom?
