I saw the thread on the handheld tuners. I am talking about just a scanning tool. I will get getting dyno tunes locally and don't plan on tuning myself.

I am open to getting one of those tuners only if was just a few bucks more than a scanner, but i don't think that is the case.

Here's the one I bought about three years or so ago:

Here is what I use with my Android phone.

You will also need to buy Torque app ($4.95) at https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...g.prowl.torque

+1. I have the torque app and love it. You can read trouble codes, the live data stream from every sensor on the motor, long and short fuel trims, and knock retard. Also the shift light add on works great at the drag strip just strap you phone to your rear view mirror.

not trying to upsell ya, but i got the scangauge 2, and its been great. keep mounted above rearview mirror, use as trans temp, intake temp, etc etc gauges, and when a code pops up u can read and clear instantly. handy. and u can make any color to match interior, million other functions. good investment. about 150 bucks, but worth it.

I've got ScanGaugeII,mounted on dash. Does as said above BUT only tells code number and does not describe what code is. I have a handheld from Advance for that.

I use the Torque App also. I really like it. Have used it on a few buddies rides to check engine lights. The main reason I got it though was to keep an eye on engine temps in my Camaro because the stock gauge sucks. Also im pulling my SxS pretty much every other week with my truck so I needed a way to keep an eye on my transmission temps in the truck.

Ill look into the app. Thanks.

I like my INNOVA 3100, has worked great for about a dozen years. Unfortunately I bought mine before they had a USB port for upgrades.

It is very easy to use and I have loaned it out several times to friends, who are not all car guys, and they have read their codes fine. I am going to buy another one with the USB upgrade ability because I am finding unknown codes that the old tool doesn't recognize occasionally.
