I'd like to read any reviews on various OBD II scanners.... and of course... hear about some actual expleriences in here w/ the Good, the Bad and even the Ugly! :)
I have Ford Windstar (a junk... that I inherited through a marriage) and GMC Sonoma right now... but plan to go straight GM products...
I am looking to go w/ something that reads all of the Enhanced Codes.
What do you think... are they worth the extra bucks or the Enchanced Codes cababilities ?
Many thanks folks!!

If you have an old computer laying around I would go with obd2 software. I have heard Autotap has the most features. I use obd scan from

I hear Auto X ray is decent. Checker Auto had them on sale a few weeks ago. I have the INNOVA EQUUS OBD II Also from Checker but less expensive and not as good.

I was thinking of buying the Equus 3100. Is the 3100 what you have?
What exactly is wrong with the Equus?
Thanks in advance,

Not to knock the Snap-On Scanner, but it's what $4000 for it, plus Hundreds in New Updates for it every year. For a Business, it may be worth it. For use once in a while from a Home User, that's just way to much money.
Yes, Ive used the snap-on for years, and love it. BUT I would not spend that much on one for home use.
Go ahead, knock it. It's mediocre at best. matter of fact, there's so much that it doesn't do that it should be able to do, it's really a turd. Good scanner in 1988, hopelessly outdated with little chance of catching up today. The only thing that's a bigger joke is the Modis. (I've had one on demo for three weeks and I'm not impressed.)
$4000 -if- you buy every accessory cartridge. Few DIYers need the domestic, asian, trouble shooters for both, tranny trouble shooter, abs trouble shooter, emissions trouble shooter, power antenna troubleshooter, tire pressure troubleshooter...etc.
More like thousands.
Which is why the DIYer is better off with a laptop and some software. If you already own a laptop, you're most of the way there.
