Supercat Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 There are Auto Zones in Miami where you could probably order an OBD II scanner online. OBD II Scanner at Auto Zone Here's a store I found on Auto Zone's Web Site: Auto Zone 200 NW 191st St. Miami, FL 33169 (305) 249-7990 You could probably also find one on eBay Good luck!
