The couple of brands that I've found are the Equus ($130.00) @ Advance Auto and the Actron ($150.00) @ Autozone. thanks,   Knut Nerheim (Knut) New Member Username: Knut Post Number: 19 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Tuesday, February 10, 2004 - 01:31 pm:    I bought my code reader on eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=43998&item=245 9714461). The brand name is Creader, cost $50 n/i shipping. It works pretty good.   Brendan Kearns (Howboucha) Member Username: Howboucha Post Number: 223 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Tuesday, February 10, 2004 - 02:36 pm:    I have the autozone unit. It works fine for me.   Bob Shinn (Bshinn) Member Username: Bshinn Post Number: 54 Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Tuesday, February 10, 2004 - 03:49 pm:    From what i've been able to gather, the equus will read generic & manuf specific codes & the actron will only read generic. I need to purchase one soon & am still researching the options.
