Diagnostic Scanner Tool

Hey, just wondering, has anyone purchased or used one of the car computer scanners? I was thinking of buying http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MINT-...07123436QQrdZ1 and a universal chip for another 150$. Has anyone ever used one of these or somthing similar? I was basically just looking for somthing to check the codes on the ole' CL.

Thats a nice piece for the money.. has tonnes of features. Howerer you will need the import programming for it to make it work properly with your CL. and that is $$$ It will however funstion just fine for pulling codes.

If all you are after is a cheapo scanner to pull the obdII codes and turn off the check engine light look into equis scanners. I picked up a part # 0303 a few days ago for 65$

Works great.
