any decent OBDII scanners for the RDX?

Has anyone found a decent & cheap error code scanner that works for the RDX?
I bought the U480 online but it doesn't work with my 07 RDX. It claims that it works with models post 1996.
Amazon Amazon

I tried many times, but I still get "Link error". A piece of junk for $15.
Reviews on amazon for the U480 are 4/5 but when you google it, it's crap.

Do you have an Android phone by chance? If so get a bluetooth reader for a few bucks and download the Torque app.

That Bluetooth scanner at $12 sounds like a great idea. And the Torque Lite app is free. I have a Samsung phone laying around.
I was looking for something less than $50. Errors are uncommon but when they show it's nice to know what it is, rather than going to Autozone.

I just got the Foseal Obd2 scanner and it is awesome! It immediately found my android and paired. It then pulled the error codes. It then gives you a link to a website with all relevant info about this specific trouble code!
Awesome. Highly recommended!
Thanks tomtwtw.

I bought one of those cheap Chinese "ELM" scanners and used the Torque app. There is a ton of data in there. You can unlock the Torque app to show everything for $5. That's a bargain.
