Does anyone know what the cheapest, legitimate OBD (On Board Diagnostics) readers are? I've bought a few that need to have specific versions of drivers/software installed to work. As soon as they are updated its game over, and a full restore of the OS is required. eBay seems to be hit and miss on clones and prices.

Anyone point me in the right direction, I only want to pull some data over the K-Bus without resorting to spending hours configuring my laptop.

Thanks

Do you have a serial port? Could you add one by USB? A level shifter RS232 to K-bus or K-line (the interface will do either) is not hard to construct.

I do on the one lappy but would rather it USB so I can use it on the other. I'd rather just buy one but the net is flooded with so ,Amy I don't know which is genuine and which is a clone
