LAUNCH Creader 3001 OBD2 Automotive Scanner - $17 @ Amazon

Ok, so I've posted up a couple nice automotive scanners in the past.
However if you just need a simple car code read, nothing fancy and no more, this is definitely the device for you!

Under $20 allows you to read and clear your engine's ECU/PCM codes.
With today's gas prices it would cost you $2 just to get to Autozone and back for a code read.
$16.86 after coupon code: 88TDK3HC

Beware though, just like having a truck, people will come to you for Code Reads, lol.

I like keeping one in the car as well as the garage.

Any significant benefit to these dedicated units over the little Bluetooth adapters? I don't run a shop so it's nice that the adapters take up less room and I can even drive the car and record the data to my phone or observe graphs/gauges.

I personally find these a bit quicker to use than the bluetooth ones. By the time I start app, connect, wait, scan I have pretty much read the codes with the standalone one. You also don't have to worry about phone battery drain, etc... These stay live as long as they are plugged in.

You won't get the sweet gauge customization and info the phone will give you though.

I have an extra 10% coupon on the page making it $16.24 +tax. W/o the extra 10%, it would be about $18.50 +tax. The OP doesn't break down how he got to his price, but I don't see it. Did the price change since this was originally posted?

I once bought a Honda about 150 miles from home that was having knock sensor issues, would keep throwing it into limp mode. Ran fine, just would throw codes, anyway I have a similar launch to this, and one of those bluetooth adapters, and I can tell you, on the road, the launch was much safer/faster to check and clear the codes.

I've found the BT ones work better for datalogging but not for rapid reading and clearing of codes.

Eh why not. I dont even know where my BT reader went. But not having to deal with a phone and app, Bluetooth and the dongle seems worth it for 16 bucks

Auto zone in my area stopped renting out the code readers and won't do it for you anymore get. At least the last time I checked pre covid times.

I had this about a year now. This is one of the readers recommended by Scotty Kilmer. For me, this works well for reading/deleting codes.

Before buying this, I also already had a bluetooth reader paired with my Android phone and Torque Pro. But the standalone reader that the OP mentioned is way more convenient to use.
