Looking for a OBD2 code reader

[ScottyBoy]

I am looking for a handheld OBD2 code reader. I want as many features as possible, such as reading ABS codes, and live engine data. But my budget is no more than $200 . I also need it to work on as many vehicles as possible, domestics AND imports. Any suggestions?

These can be had for $200

I have one of these for the house, they do a lot more than GM, and do CAN

Made by Equus so you can probably find their model

All three look like good options. The one has some ABS abilities as well but it's the most expensive.

That's a pretty good deal. I may have to talk to my Snap-On buddy and see what he can get me one for.

Thoughts on this one?
How would it compare to the Bluepoint that you have Scott?

It doesnt say if it reads ABS codes though.

That looks nice. I do not believe it does ABS.

Here's the product page. It makes no mention of it.

Ok, looks like this is the one that also reads ABS codes, and its only 10 bucks more. And still in my budget. Woot!

Shit, I missed the ABS need. I have an OTC that does that too, but you won't get it for $200.

You can also get and ABS scanner, I think Equus make it, too, for about $80
