Anyone know where I can get a cheap OBDII code reader?
I'm looking for a reliable OBDII scanner device where I can clear codes if need be without having to hook up to a real OBDII scanner. People keep telling me that I can go buy one for like $30, but where and what brand? Sole purpose is to clear codes.
(No, I can't do it from my phone... I lost my good phone and have to use some old POS, so that's not an option even though it would save me a lot of headache).
Thanks guys,
D-
