I have the BAFX thing for standard OBD2 stuff. Works fine, but I'm looking for a reasonably priced reader that also gets all the manufacturer specific stuff. Like airbag codes, basically something that can read anything the car's ECU is reporting. Live sensor data would be nice too, but I could probably live without that if it costs a lot more for that feature.
I have the airbag light on in my '08 GC. I know I could just pay a shop to do a quick diagnostic on it and go from there, but I like having my own tools to do these things. So is there anything out there that can do it for a couple hundred bucks? I'm not going to buy something for thousands like a shop would use, with live updates for new cars and tons of features. I kinda doubt I'll ever be buying anything newer than my '08. I'm actually thinking of something much older for my next vehicle, like pre EFI.
So yeah, just looking around, not sure if such a thing exists in the price range I would be willing to spend.
