Folks,

I considering buying a scanner. I'd like to get some guidance/opinions. Which brand to get? What about the type that is windows based (seem to cost twice as much but has nice features?

Also, where is the connection to attach the scanner on a 2001 gs430?

TIA

I like the snapon or mac one. I considered buying one till I saw the prices. Autotap is supposed to be very good.

Also, where is the OBD connector to attach scanner?

Wow, $790 seems steep. I was thinking about the PC version autotap or AutoEnginuity for around $200, but don't know if i'll use all it's features. Then again i don't even know waht feature to use.

If I go with the $50-100 one, which brand?

TIA All!
