They're not bad...but a very basic scanner - won't read stored codes...only
active (yes, I've tried that model).

Here's what I don't agree with at all in their ad:

"Turn off that distracting "check engine" light." - It's not
distracting...it's there for a reason.
"Read and erase trouble codes with "hot keys."" - How about Read and
DIAGNOSE trouble codes before erasing them. Plus, erase the codes and ALL
of the OBD-II Monitors reset (sucks for inspections as it will fail due to
the monitors not running or have been run).

Hey DML

I just spotted this on Amazon's Friday sale, its $59.99. I think it is a
discontinued model, but still a good one. Would anyone know if it's a good
deal? I do not have one at all. The sale goes off around midnight so I
appreciate all knowledgeable opinions.
