Obd2 scanner

Can anyone recommend a cheap scanner for my 2000 9-3 turbo auto very. eBay have loads but some say 2001 onwards.

I use an ELM3232 interface with laptop PC software on our MY00- works fine

Where and how much was it also what software and what can be done with it. Thanx.

It's a while since I bought it; any ELM323 reader should work though.

Software, there's lots of freeware around on sites like http://easyobdii.com/

I have bought a portable Autel MaxiScan MS509 for €42 off ebay (including shipping).
Nice scanner. It can read approx. 20 parameter values from the ECU.
The nice thing about it is that when an engine error is recorded, it also records associated parameter values (at exactly the same time the error occurred) in order to be able to identify the problem better afterwards.

The scanner connects also to a PC for software updates through internet.

I bought an AutoP D900 off "beat the garage" on ebay. Works brilliantly. I have used it to clear codes and by using the live data option it helped to diagnose and solve a 5 year problem with lack of  power on my Aero

What years are both your vehicles.

I have used mine on my 2002 9-5 Aero and just this morning on my dads 1997 9000 Aero
