I picked up an Innova the other year that reads both ODB1 & ODB2 vehicles off Amazon. Can't swear to it as I'm not home but I think the model number is 3140 but would have to check to be sure. I've used it to read and reset codes on ODB1 & 2 vehicles I own and it's worked every time.

One advantage of one like this is I own the Vette, a T-Bird, a Caravan and a F150 and it works on all of them.

Whatever you look at, read the specs over closely and insure it does what you're wanting. There are a lot of units out there and not every one does the same things.

Hope this helps.

Torque app is free. That's what I use. Just a simple code reader.

MT2500 is another good one. NFW would I get a code reader. Too much money for too little.
