Does anyone has OBD2 reader that I can borrow or bring my car to? I do not want to go to Dealer that costs $100 just to hookup the reader.
Or is there any place where I can rent it in Milton?

Thanks

Yea, the dealer is a rip off, I highly recommend getting a cheap OBD scanner, will save you tons down the road. For example this one below is only $8 with free shipping. Connects to your phone thru Bluetooth and will give you all your codes and explanation using different apps that you can find for free on Play Store or iTunes.

There is also a free app on Google Play store called Dash which even tracks your driving habits as you drive on your phone using this obd scanner and will also give you any engine codes along with ability to erase the codes as well. Well worth the $8!

Yes I have ordered this one but it will take many weeks to arrive from China. By the way this one is Wi-Fi and much easier to use.

I ordered one on amazon.ca for $13 and it arrived in 2 days. Bluetooth to my Samsung S4 works fantastic and simple.

I have iphone so those with Bluetooth may not work. That's why I ordered the one with wifi.

Hi JTP,

After I got your PM I tried to send you a reply but message was stuck in my outbox. Can you send me the PM where you want me to come?

Thanks
