Default what cheap OBDII code reader to get?
I am getting the check engine light now and then and am suspecting the gas cap, so I would like to get a cheap OBDII code reader that works on the 2007 C6 Z06.

Give me some recommendations please!

Thanks,
Kristoffer

Auto x ray works well. Also The diablo predator will read and clear codes, and allow some tuning as well.

The newer Autotap is geared toward codes rather than diagnostics (no tuning), and shows steps on how to fix what ever is causing the code. It’s about $100 for the cable and software.
