We agreed on something!

Amazon has great prices on lots of differnt products. I got some 80 dollar K&N filters on there for 20 bucks a piece... (they have since raised the price)

my girlfriends dad is the head of R&D at this company. this is their top of the line one and its sick because it tells you what the code is, not just the code itself. http://www.amazon.com/Equus-3110-Dia.../dp/B0007VXZ7W

fast_lap28 · 02-18-2008, 11:30 AM

so with the high end OBD II readers we can use them on our BMW's, just verifying. I saw the video and definitely interested in one. I know there are more expensive units out there so for $140 or so I think its worth it....not only do I need it for my car but for the rest of the family vehicles (Jeep, Chevy, etc)

good find.

So can I delete codes with the code reader for $36 from amazon? Is it hard to figure out???

battlehawk1025 · 02-18-2008, 01:08 PM

anyone have experience w/ this?

bsamoul · 02-18-2008, 03:07 PM

i have one. it will display "real time" data of the car and you can also erase codes stored in the computer. however, if the ecu detects the same problem again, it will just turn the light on again which is annoying.

scalbert · 02-18-2008, 03:29 PM

It will only delete OBDII related codes. A limp mode issue without a SES will store a code as well and will not be erased by an OBDII scanner.

eyeteaguy · 02-18-2008, 03:38 PM

Will this do the same thing as the c reader from Vishnu tuning's website for $65?
