OBD2 reader foreign + domestic Can anyone recommend an inexpensive code reader that will handle both foreign (ISO-based BMW) OBD2 and domestic.
I have used PC-based software but I don't need lots of useless features and I prefer a stand-alone battery powered unit if possible.
Low cost is a major desire.
Thx..

i just purchased a autoxray EZ-link, refurbished for $175 shipped to me. It does OBD I & OBD II foreign and domestic cars. Its worked great for me so far. I think they are around 300-350 new.

You happen to remember where you got the refurbished version?

Harbor Freight has a small stand alone unit, works great. It reads and deletes OBDII codes. It was like $40, I've even seen them on sale there for $30. Good luck!

I own the HF unit - sold for $40. It works great for domestic OBD2 cars. It does NOT work on German foreign cars that have ISO OBD2 systems.
I bought the $99 unit from JC Whitney. It works on domestic and foreign cars including those that have ISO OBD2 systems.
