1.5a OBD II ELM327 USB CAN-BUS Scanner Review

You get what you pay for, and what you are paying for here is what I would call the minimal hardware implementation of the ELM327. You are not paying for the software, basically. After a year, the device does not want to connect, using any free software. The software that came with it, I updated, and it recognized this as a knock off and refuses to connect.
So, you get crappy software, and hardware that is fluky.

I have used this leak tester many times and it works greate .
On the web site it does not say it comes full with smoke fluid but when you get it it has a tag on it full.
So don't purchase the oil it's $$$$ and it lasts a long time. I had to returne the extra fluid I purchased .

Actron CP9575 Auto Scanner Trilingual OBDII and CAN Scan Tool Review

What a great product . Pulls codes quickly with a modest description of code. In addition, it shows various sensor data(rpm, voltage, positions, temps, loads, etc...)and other various on board data that would normally require you to go to a professional shop for. I bought this actron since I was having a problem with my rear O2 sensor in one of my vehicles, which was consistently pulling 2 codes for that sensor. Initially i was resetting it hoping it was a glitch, since i wasn't in any mood to buy a rear O2 & lift the car to replace it. Well luckily with the scanner, i observed that the voltages were stagnant under all conditions. Now this was strange since the voltages dictate the exhaust temperature. The front O2 was showing varying voltages under different loads. well, to make a long story short it turns out that the sensor wiring was frayed requiring an easy splice.
The advantage of knowing on board sensor data is far better than just pulling codes... My recommendation, if you don't mind getting you hands dirty, spend a few extra bucks and get a model that can pull live sensor data like this model. Plus, it's a great show and tell for all you car buddies.As for updating data via PC, i have yet try that.

Real nice quality kit and at an awesome price. Just doesn't make sense that it doesn't have the adapter for a generic 1999 Silverado. Couldn't even use it. Take note, all the adapters are SAE pipe thread, NOT metric.
