USB scan tool for PC

Posted by Maleficent_Length505@reddit | projectcar | View on Reddit | 4 comments

I'm looking for a USB scan tool for a reasonable price. I need functionality similar to the Ford IDS but that's compatible with anything from Volvos to Doge to Toyota. I need access to all live data, PIDS, and actuation tests. (Ie the ability to turn on headlights, horn ECT. From the scan tool.) I currently have a autel mk808bt that does ok but as far as I can tell it doesn't have the ability to do actuation tests. Any recommendations on a good product that is under $300?

Torque App is great for android.

Free app.

All you need is a $15 bluetooth OBD2 dongle.

Does it allow for two way communication? ie activating headlight, horn ect from the app?

Maybe they have a premium version.

Very interested in this.

I've used a topdon for a while and wasn't impressed. It also had something go wrong with the dongle and any car it gets plugged into wont start, almost like it's taking down a can network or something.
