Default Code Scanner?

Need to get a code scanner. Which one is the best, how much is it, and where do I buy it? :D

There are several brands of scan tool available.
Check out the following sites:

1) Ease Diagnostics at http://www.obd2.com or http://www.easesim.com
2) Diacom at http://www.rinda.com
3) Autotap at http://www.autotap.com
4) Do-it-yourselfer EFI page at http://www.diy-efi.org
5) AutoXray XP-240 at http://www.autoxray.com
6) AKM page at http://www.mindspring.com/~amattei/dss.htm

Generally the 82-95 vettes are OBD1 and 96+ vettes are OBD2. The two systems are not compatable. Most 95 vettes are OBD1 with OBD2 connecctors, but some late 95 vettes are fully OBD2 systems. You need to know which version of OnBoard Diagnostics (OBD1 or OBD2) your vehicle uses. This info is on the vehicle emissions sticker usually on the radiator (left side) on vettes.

After you look at the above sites if you decide that you are interested in the Ease Scan Tool, email me directly and I will be glad to send you a complete review including screen captures of the Ease Scan Tool that I use on my OBD1 88 coupe. As a rep for Ease, I can get you a rebate of 10% on everything you order through me. Ease takes credit card orders and offers a 30 day No Questions Asked money back gaurantee.

Let me know if I can be of any help.
