ODB II Scan tool recommendation

Hey, folks...

I was hoping a few of you could recommend a decent ODB II scan tool for my 2005 RX-8--something to read and erase the code.

Thanks in advance for your replies,

David in Ohio

I have an ACTRON CP9180. I believe I paid about $138.00 at Amazon.com.

agree with Expo, the ScangaugeII is very well known and has a good reputation here, if you google scangauge you'll get their website - very usefull tool. If you wanted something i bit more sophistocted I've played with a DashHawk before - it was nice.

I really like my scanalyser... just be sure to get Hymee's V2 beta. If money isn't a concern there's the AccessPort which opens up the door for quite a few other options.
