Time to get an OBDII scanner for myself. Anyone have one of the
various actron models or OTC scanners that they sell at the big auto
parts chains? Any recommendations, or advice on what to avoid?The
actron CP9135 seems to be my first choice.

If you ordinarily lug around a laptop computer (like I do) then something
like www.scantool.net is your best bet.

What do you want to do with it? Just scan/clear codes or do you want
real-time data and calibration controls as well? Makes a BIG difference.
