Default Code reader/diagnostic tool recommendation?
I'm thinking of getting a good code reader/diagnostic tool with wireless capabilities to a laptop. Any recommendations?

Just in case you don't know and of course we don't have a wireless connection for the codes from the On Board Diagnostics but you can pull all the codes:

Or you could use HP Tuners - again you might have to look into the wireless capabilities!

Thanks,Matt

Built in one is OK, but it won't give many things like I/M monitors, specific cylinder misfires, etc.
