I'm getting sick of having to make a trip to the parts store to have engine codes read.
I'm looking for some opinions on one or both items.
I'm looking at getting the torque(or similar) app/obd2 plug in or a scanner from harbor freight. I'm looking at a Cen-Tech® - Item#60693. The scanner tool is $70 now but normally it's $145.
To me, both have their advantages and disadvantages.
Ive never used either so I don't know what to expect. I'm mainly looking for something to read/clear codes. If I could simply leave one plugged in and possibly give me live readings for those issues that only happen when driving (havent had any yet but I'm sure I will sooner or later). I use my phone's navigation for work a lot, so that is one disadvantage to the app amount others. I'm not looking for something fancy or anything. I would need to use either one on more than one vehicle also. Not looking to spend a lot of money on something like this. Just getting tired of having to go to one of 5 different parts stores around me to read codes. At least one location their code reader is either broke or it was stolen. It's happened before where none were available to read codes.
Thanks in advance
