Scanner/code reader recommendations, please.

What would be good for me to use on my vehicles and when looking at vehicles to purchase? Maybe $300 tops.

I have the blue driver reader and have been happy with it. It connects to a phone through blue tooth. It can read codes, does live data for rpm, speed, sensors, etc. It can record data to help troubleshoot/recreate problems.

I think it runs about $100

I bought this to replace the one I had on a laptop that died. Bluetooths to your phone.
Like most things now days it’s capable of way more than I’ll ever use it for.

Honestly... Whatever HF has at that price point.

I spent around that there a few years ago, and it's been great.

Live data, pulls up a lot of specific codes (and resets/clears more) that the sub $100 units won't. Three times the money, ten times the unit.

Your probably looking for something a little more fancy but I have a couple of these, one for each vehicle. They work pretty good for 12 bucks.
