Looks like it is time to add one to the list of tools. I have not seen any topics here on them so turning to the forum for some pointers on a good unit for the garage. Not looking for a full blown commercial one, just for occasional use on today's vehicles. I see ones that work with the android phones and standalone units, just not sure which would be a good all around one to pick up. Any suggestions, help or thoughts on a good unit to purchase is appreciated.

TIA :thankyou:

I use the Torque app https://torque-bhp.com/  combined with a Bluetooth module from BAFX (see the reviews, speaks for itself) https://www.amazon.com/BAFX-Products-34t5-Bluetooth-Android/dp/B005NLQAHS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1498690632&sr=8-1&keywords=torque+odb2+bluetooth

under $30 combined

What I use is more than most would want....  But a friend/customer/client bought it for me when I was working on a fairly involved problem on his 6.0 Powerstroke...

Autoenginuity with the Total Ford ScanTool Bundle (SP03)

It's just the software & cable, I have it loaded on a laptop that only does industrial PLC work & scan tool work, it never goes on line.....
