OBDII Scanner Software for Laptop

[squiRe2001]

Hey guys!

My dad wanted me to hunt down a OBDII scanner for him that was relatively cheap (Around 200 bucks). He wants it to be able to give codes and reset codes. I said why don't you get software for your laptop, he said good idea.. So now since I would have no clue where to start... I figured I'd ask you guys! Does anyone recommend any OBDII software that is on the cheaper end and decent?

Thanks

No, only Subaru. Do you have a harbor freight around where you live? Because you can get an OBDII tool for 80 bucks there. That's what I have for mine.

I do, but was looking for a scanner where I didnt have to flip through a book to find out the codes that its throwing.( I guess thats being lazy :-/ ) Also want to be able to reset codes.

If they're all OBDII, and you have an Android phone, check out the Torque app. It's only $4.99 and it works with a $25 bluetooth adapter.

You are being lazy...and I don't know of any code readers that tell you exactly what the code means. The codes are all pretty generic though. I can reset codes with my reader.

You also get a fun toy to play around with in your WRX. See this link, from about post #40 and down: Good 2012 WRX mods???

I have this one Innovate Motorsports OT-2 - Transform your iPhone or iPod into a wireless gauge, data logger, dyno, efficiency meter and OBDII scan tool.

Sort of expensive but it works.
