    I mainly own BMWs so i use the autophix scanner and it helps for specific things like replacing electronic parking brake and reset certain maintenance things..all and all well worth the 80 bucks i paid, but i want a pro l3v3l scanner one day bro..i know they cost alot for me..but i know they well worth it

    I bought a scan tool from advance auto parts for about $300. It does practically everything I needed to do. I’ve always considered getting one for a couple grand because the amount of work you can perform on your own vehicle instead of taking it to a dealership you would be saving yourself thousands of dollars in the long run, regardless of what kind of vehicle you have for the rest of your life and you always get free updates on those larger pieces of software as well

    What is needed is car specific scanner information such as, "what works best with a 2003 Subaru Forrester?" Specific information for locating a good functional scanner is excessively lacking availability. It seems that not all general non-specific scanners work with all vehicle's.

      It says on the manual its a C/k 1500 but on the bed it says W/T. It also has the gmc logo in the back and the chevy logo in the front and i know they together but it confuses me when im searching for parts.

    wouldn't you call a cheap $15 thing most likely be just a code 'reader' ?
    Other than that, I find this a super helpful way to find some guidelines in my search.
    These days it's hard to know anymore if we are speaking the same language.
    One of the nice points was where you point out generic OBD data vs vehicle specific modules.
    Since you mention it, I guess that's real basic info, but I didn't know enough to identify the feature.
    It was just one of endless fuzzy unidentified questions constantly short circuiting between my ears.
    Armed with this new line of thinking I will try to make a chart to ask and answer all of my desires
    (concerning a scanner anyway) .
    Many thanks for lots of great info here to help me find a way through this maze.
