Default OBD2 Scanner recomendation needed.

I plan on purchasing a OBD2 scanner and I need a recommendation for 1 costing less than $100.00. I like the Bosch 1100 going for $70.00 but if you have a better idea I'd like to hear from you before I buy the Bosch 1100.
Thanks Boonie

I think their 1200 model has "graphing" capabilities which helps in diagnostics. Good for looking at O2 sensor waveforms...I don't think the 1100 has this...If you are just a DIY'er that just wants to scan codes the 1100 would be good enough for you !!!

Just make sure it will get to the body and ABS levels to pull and clear codes that deep on the GM.

Myself, if limited to around $100, would just go with a VX Gm nano that is a MDI clone and come with Tech2win to work just like a Tech Ii, as well as GDS2 that works with the newer GM models as well.

I really like my BlueDriver.

I am thinking to buy this BlueDriver as well. But, I have a question. What is the main difference between bluetooth scan tool and normal device scan tool(Like innova, autel, etc. brand scan tool)?
Just read a review here about this scan tool https://obd2scanners.org/bluedriver-bluetooth-professional-obdii-scan-tool-reviews
Ok just bought this https://www.amazon.com/BlueDriver-Bluetooth-Professional-iPhone-Android/dp/B00652G4TS
I am failing to connect this tool with my car!.
Update: Connected and the problem is solved now. Read the Installation instruction and figure out the problem.
