What is the recommended OBDII code reader for dummies?

[Hopper]

I have never owned one nor do I know how to use one. I hate complicated apps since I am a upper middle aged dog that cant stand learning new tricks ( not un willing just hate it)
I think I should have one to start seld diagnosing problems.

What is the recommended reader for a Dummy like myself. Would like to Amazon one today.

Been using this one for 10 years now:

Works like a charm, super easy to use, color screen, and a great value for the price. I use it on my TJ and all our other cars as well.

x2 what Chris recommended. Those small Launch code readers do everything you would need it to do. You don't get worthy functionality out of higher end code readers until you get closer to $1000.

Order placed. Thanks for the recommendation

maybe a little spendy compared to the above, but it's pretty slick.

Been using it for the last couple of years.

I second the bluedriver. Works great on more modern cars as well.

I'm still using mine almost 10 years later, it works great for me

So yes, I would recommend it personally.

Wow, that Bluedriver is super expensive.

If you have an Android phone get this instead. Then get the Torque Pro app.
