ODBII reader - 39 bucks!!!

[sudz]

Hey guys, I was browsing the princess auto website, and they have an ODBII reader for under 40 bucks!!!

Considering Mazda charges 50 bucks a read, Its a worthy investment to you modders!

I cannot vouch for the quality, etc, as I don't have this one, however, its a pretty sweet deal!

1) That reader is not "CAN BUS" specification. Which means it won't work with a Mazda3 or any newer car 07/08+ which CAN spec is standardized
2) A cheap CAN OBDII reader is found at Canadian Tire, on sale they are $150
3) Part Source supposedly will do free readings if you have a CEL (check engine light)

well then. I guess that's that! :-P
