Anyone got one? What have you got. Looking at a few on ebay, they all seem to do the same thing but vary in price from £15 - £50 for a budget one.
What have you got?

Got a cheap £3 one from eBay and the torque app for my phone.
Doesn't read everything but does more than enough for 3 quid.

I just bought a Bluetooth code dongle earlier on and downloaded a pirate version of torque, hopefully it will come Friday so I can play with it

As gaz said most are the same.
Only difference in the more expensive snap on ones are things like sensor readings and constant updates that you get with them
If its just for codes any of them will do realy bro

Will still get live data on eobd code readers. Needs to be accessible raw data by law nowadays.

Something I've that. Cheaper ones out there but make sure they talk to the protocols on newer cars as some of the cheaper ones won't pull the codes out of cars that use can bus.
