Scan tool recommendations
I’m thinking of buying my own scan tool. I know the Camaro is still under warranty but I also have my old Honda so I’d like to get something that’s useful. Not the $50 cheapo that just gives you basic codes but I don’t want to spend thousands of dollars on dealer level scanners either.
What do you all use or recommend? |

If you don't want a code reader what are you looking for then? There are a couple options IMO.
I would recommend AUTOPHIX ODBII scanner for $40 for quick scans or troubleshooting on the fly. If you want more detail and control then I would tell you to get an HP Tuner MPVI2 for $300, anything more than that and you might as well call up your local SnapOn dealer and get a mechanic scanner kit.

Yup. 2nd vote for an MPVI. Or a SCT X4.
The benefit of the SCT is it has a display and you can get a lot of info on the device itself. An MPVI requires a laptop connected to HPTuners VCM Scanner software.

AutoEnginuity Scan Tool. Its awesome, check it out. I think its around $250. I have the Ford and GM modules for my cars. Its indispensable.

I use a Scan Gauge II. About $159, reads codes and gives useful information like intake air temp which comes in handy when building your own intake. Here's a link.
