Default Diagnostic Scanner

Just saw this interesting $15 gadget:

https://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-byl...7-f74aff2fb609

Then another:
Amazon.com: BAFX Products - Bluetooth OBD2 scan tool - For check engine light & diagnostics - Android ONLY: Automotive Amazon.com: BAFX Products - Bluetooth OBD2 scan tool - For check engine light & diagnostics - Android ONLY: Automotive

Wonder if these are worth it...

Thanks,

There is a newer protocol than OBDII?

I use UltaGauge and I know some use ScanGauge which do what the second link does but you do not need a smartphone for either.

But each only work with OBDII vehicles.

Something I consider advantageous but some may not is when these are plugged into the OBDII port they interfere with some OnStar functions. I state that as a positive as I am the world's foremost defender of OnStar.
