      Go on ebay, buy one of the OBD2 readers on there (or get the software for the computer and wire for $20, that is what i do).

      What do you want it to do? For reading generic codes, I find the Actron pocketscan to be a decent value. It doesn't offer access to monitors and some manufacturer specific codes though.
      Sorry GM, the Turbo Sonic was priced too close to the Focus ST. I gots me a Ford.

      I have an Actron CP9550, and it gives me Freeze Frame Data, the VIN, and some manufacturer codes (no descriptions though), and for the rest, I have an app on my Blackberry Curve 3G that gives me EVERYBODY'S Manufacturer Codes!

      I have an obd2 bluetooth adapter I got off eBay and I run torque pro on android and its frigging awesome. I can data log get real time scanning on just about everything and can also clear codes if they pop up. Now to keep saving for that hp tuner kit so I can put all this data to good use




      Sorry officer... with all of your stickers and strobes I thought you wanted to race
