I'm looking for something that I can use to view data, read and clear codes. Anyone have experience with this or something like it. For $39 is this worth it?

 

Never heard of that particular brand. Do they have a website so you can check it out a little better?

 

Yes they do.

I bought one like it a while back off ebay for about $20 to use on a late model Toyota. It came with a disk with free software choices or you could buy software for it. I elected the free and though annoying clicking out of the window and back in to get it to execute a command, it did work and brought up the O2 trouble codes which Advance Auto, Autozone, and the Toyota dealer scanners couldn't seem to do. It was worth $20 to me even with the annoyance, but I would consider purchasing software for it if I thought I was going to use it a lot.

 

40 bucks and reads codes and gives live data sounds good to me. I spent 6500 on my Modis but it does a butt ton more. For you guys that just use on your own trucks and dont have a zone next door its a yes even though you may have a few glitches.

 

Thanks guys. I ordered it so i guess we'll see if it works.
