OBDII Reader For Laptop

[burrellsjeep]

This maybe the wrong place to post this so please move it if needed.



I am looking for suggestions on a OBDII reader and software for a laptop. Nothning to too fancy, Just the most bang for the buck. Ofcourse I want to be able to pull codes, and real time monitoring of the system would be good also.

So what do you guys think?

most of those scan tools will not let you change values only read....winaldl lets you reprogram....

Have you tried this reader on a TJ?

Just curious, I am building the cord and I have the software loaded. Just didn't see any thing close to a 4.0 or 2.5 in the list of Supported ECM types. But I maybe over looking it.
