I'd like to get a code reader that can connect to my notebook. Anybody recommend one that isn't $300 and will work with the popular software packages available?

I've done some investigation, but cannot seem to find one with USB for less than around $150.

 

If you have a laptop here you go http://www.obd-2.com/#products

Well, you can use this on the home PC with a long enough cord. LMAO

 

Been there, done that... not looking to spend $300 like most of those are.

I guess it all depends on what you will be using it on mostly and how often you will use it.

 

None of those have USB and they're more than $150...

 

If all you need to do is read codes, most large auto parts stores will read them for you free.

 

Find a Friend with XCalII use it and your set (((Free)))

 

"ereader" at less than $50 will read a lot of code.
Why get fancy with a PC not expect to pay the piper.

 

There are a bunch of "ELMSCAN" units on eBay for less than $100 that aren't expensive and connect to a PC via USB. I was looking for feedback on those. I guess nobody has used one...
