Default Suggestions For a Code Reader???

I'm looking for a tool that allows you to read and reset codes that's not a tuner. I've heard of one from Walmart ($69).......does anyone have any experience with it? Any other suggestions????

Thanks

Any of those little orange ones from Walmart, Advance Auto, Pep Boys, or Auto Zone will work well. They run from $70 to $200. On the ones that are around $100, you get the descriptions of the engine codes that your car throws displayed on the LCD screen instead of you having to look it up in a code book. For $200 you get the ability to read engine parameters while the car is running.

I have an Innova 3100 CanOBD2 Code Reader. It's a mid-range model but it has all the features I need. You can also update it on line. I like it.
