For those that have their own OBD II scanner, I need your recommendation. I'm not looking to use this commercially, just for my own S2000, so I am not looking to spend a lot but I do want to get useful features if I can.

The Basic Scanner:

A Scanner and More:

Any other suggestions that you find a 'must have' features?

Thanks!

heard about Bluetooth ones that run from smartphone.....app called Torque

Torque is awesome. I've got it. Need an Andriod or iPhone. The app is like $5. The bluetooth dongle that plugs into your OBDII port can be a cheap chinese thing for $20 that may not work, or a good one for $70. It's awesome, and does way more than a scanner.

I'd recommend the scangauge II.

Whoa! I had no idea there are so many options available! I might just go with the Garmin one since I am in need of a new GPS anyway.

If you have a smart phone (android or iphone) buy a cheapo ebay bluetooth reader http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BLUET...item2a10e824a7 and you'll be set.

I have a scangauge II in my Genesis Coupe and an ultragauge in my s2k. The following are my observations of each:

Scangauge II:
intuitive
Change backlight colors to match interior lights
Ability to add gauges
Easy to access, responsive buttons on front of device
no alarms
More expensive ($160)

Ultragauge:
More cumbersome interface
High contrast screen, but you can't change colors
Set alarm thresholds ( for example you can set an alarm to go off if coolant temps reach a certain value)
cheap ($60-70)
Buttons are on back of device and stiff/not very responsive

Either device is well worth the money and allows you to monitor ECU readings, fuel mileage, and read/reset check engine codes
