OBD Scanners
 
Looking to purchase an OBD scanner compatible with the 370Z. Any recommendations? There is an Innova 3100 on sale locally ... but I have no idea whether it's of decent quality and/or compatible. Reviews I've seen are mixed. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

If you just want to pull DTCs the 3100 looks like it will do a good job ... but you can get the same functionality for a lot less. It doesn't take much to read/clear DTCs. With the 3100, you're paying about $80 more just for the built-in DTC descriptions. Grab the DTC with a $20-30 scanner and Google it.

If you are wanting to monitor engine variables, it doesn't look like the 3100 capable. I'd suggest getting an ODB/CAN-to-USB (or -Bluetooth) adapter and one of the monitoring programs/apps that are available.

go point bt1 its a few bucks more but you can leave it plugged in ( its bt ) its nice because you can set up custom dashes on your phone or your headunit if you have one that can mirror your phone ( this is what i do ) you can not only pull and clear dtc's but you can monitor all sensors on the car . i think your looking at around 110 bucks for the scanner and the app for your phone if memory serves me . worth every penny in my opinion .

I figured out how to access a few PIDs via ScanGauge; results are here. See columns labeled SG2_*.
