I have a scanner, but it wasn't worth it.

Scan tools, who has them?

Since I had the Restricted Performance pop up, I've been considering buggin a code scanner. I've gone 2½ years without one, and I'm sure I could get by without one, but it would be nice to have one. I could just have somebody pull the codes for me (and I probably will, since, even if I buy one, it probably won't be immediately) but I thought it would be nice to see who has one, and if you think it was worth the money.

Oh, in regards to your questions. Torq on my Android was definitely worth the money. The app only cost $5, and the bluetooth interface cost about $52 including shipping from China. The way I fiddle with cars, I couldn't live without it.

I now have two...the AE via my work laptop and hardwire cable for those really intense diagnostics, and the Torque w/ a bluetooth OBD for quick code checks and data viewing...but I'm still working on some of those advanced sensor access PIDs with another member. Custom sensor configurations...watchout!

I forgot I have a Ultra Gauge mounted in my S-Type but it does not work well with XK8. However, it has paid for itself 10 times over. It gives me a host of information as I am driving along with OBD codes when they happen but it does not work on the XK8.

Maybe a stupid question here...on the website for Torque, it says that it works with OBD2 only...most cars after 2001, and a few cars going back to 1996. Do you happen to know whether my 1997 is OBD2, and would be compatible with the Torque app?
Thanks for the help
