So what is the best choice for a ODB2 ODBII Scan Tool Data Logger?
(I listed as OBD2 and ODBII just for easier future searching)

I used search and found some interesting things, but I would like to hear some personal recommendations.
I plan to use a datalogger via a laptop. Need to read and erase codes,etc.
I have seen the Palm things such as www.pocketlogger.com but I want to use a laptop for sure.

I found some interesting info of many tools here:

Another option:
http://www.obd-2.com/

Another option:
http://www.obdii.com/

All I have is a laptop and a 1997 maxima, so I need to know exactly all what I need.
Please list what you use or recommend!
Thanks!
Mike

 

I personally use the snap-on MT2500 but thats a bit out there in the price range, on the plus side i can scan almost any car, they also have this new color screen 1 that just cam out, i cant remember the name its somethis like snap-on vidos or something of that sort, in the $9K range but u can do alot with it.

 

I have the one that you get from www.obd-2.com ... works great and has a lot of neat faetures. You will need a laptop, but it doesn't have to be anything fancy at all...

 

Sorry to be a dud,

BUT does that plug into the diag. port under the steeringwheel ?

 

I've always used a Tech2, but again, it's probably mucho dinero.

 

ok i just got the info from work is called the Snap-on MODIS, short for modular diagnostic information system. all i know is its got a 7" LCD screen, u can scan any OBD-II system with it, also has a ignition scope, volt ohm meter, and a troubleshooter . still costs $9K though http://buy.snapon.com/products/diagn...dis-system.asp
i think its safe to say that this is overkill, but sweet.

 

there is also this

but i'm pretty sure its for the palm.
