Code Scanners what do you recommend?

[shelby27604]

I have made due with a cheapo code scanner for a long time, but it is time to upgrade. I am trying to troubleshoot an ABS light issue, and need something capable of reading those codes, but would also like something that can handle a variety of needs for this tech filled automotive world that we are now overburdened with.

What are you guys using these days (non-tool truck brands please).

I use an Autel MaxiCom MK900-BT, its over kill for DIY stuff but I get some use out of it doing mobile mechanic work on the side and vehicle pre purchase inspections. There are alot of different lower priced options from Autel. I'd give them a look to narrow down the features you want.

Have you searched to see if there's a "free" downloadable scanner you can put on your laptop? I downloaded the one for E36 BMWs and picked up one of the OBDii - USB connectors and it's been great.
