I picked up the generic Chinese OBDII adapter for my laptop on eBay. It works great. Some of the "trial" software that comes with it does not work well. But there is other stuff available on the Net. I got it a couple years ago, before the bluetooth version came out. Today, I'd go for the Bluetooth. I may purchase the bluetooth one anyway. Depending on the software you choose, it gives full info on faults and pending faults. No looking up fault codes required. It is all self contained in the software. It will readout live operating info such as RPM, air temp, coolant temp and a bunch of other stuff. It can easily reset the Check engine light. It will even tell you if the check engine light had been reset and the car has not run enough times to be sure there is no faults. Some Mfgr proprietary info beyond the std OBDII code may not be displayed. Purchasing the software from XYZ will activate more fields than basic info. But you can get by without the software "purchase" if you are of a mind to....
