Hi All,

Anyone have experience with a good code reader for modern cars? Likely looking for a level 2 that can be used on American and Foreign cars. Don't need something at a mechanics level but would like to make a good handy purchase.

Thanks,
Dave

Dave-


I have had good luck with this Actron CP9550 pocket scan for several years now

It is entry level but allows basic diagnostic information and can clear the codes after diagnoses. If I recall it was around $75. Not sure about import compatibility.

I bought this one for my son since he was just starting to drive last year. He used it at least once on a check engine light - gas cap was ajar! :grin:
