I'm looking for a code reader, would like some advice on which unit is best, most economical in price that I can count on. Appreciate any guidence with this quest!

 

[Bu: 5362966, member: 1"]With price being a big concern, Amazon might be your best choice especially if you have a Prime account so you don't have shipping costs.

The thing about low end scanners is almost all of them are using the same software and have the same features. Even the screen menus are the same. So the thing to look for is not only code reading but also build quality and freeze frame support, because that help diagnose problems that haven't yet set a code.

If I were buying and price was a huge concern, but you still wanted highly rated, this is the one I'd get.
