Default Code SCanner OBD2 ??

Can anyone recommend an awesome code scanner? I have seen a few that just give codes but I want something a little more in depth.


any advise?

I posted this in another thread but check out dx.com. They've got handhelds and Bluetooth devices that connect to a phone/tablet/laptop for cheap. What you're looking for is a scanner with CANBUS capability.

Then download the Torque app on your android. Got an iPhone? You be SOL.

Will update you after I use it over the next few days.

The fix assist looks pretty cool and the site give u access to oem parts and technicians
