If your looking at just getting OBDII codes you shouldn't have to spend more than $100. if your looking for OBDII and ABS you can expect to pay around $250.

You can find low end scan tools that will get you codes and limited data for less than $500.

As far as brands pick a couple that peak your interest and do a little research. Make sure they can do what you expect and are compatible with the vehicles you own.

The Launch Creader line is a pretty decent entry level scan tool.

I use this torque app $5 for the app and about $10 for a wireless bluetooth adapter from amazon.

Bluetooth to your tablet/smartphone and you're good to go.

I clicked on the developer's link to the bluetooth adapters and they are in the $80-$200 range. You say that the $10 one works just as well?

I use the ELM 327 bluetooth adapter and it works fine. I think it was ~ $10 via Amazon
