Which Code Reader to Buy?

I'm looking at picking up a code reader.
Any suggestions / advice you can give to me?

Dan

Dan, there are not a lot of choices if you want one that will read the codes of the PSD.

One good choice is "Autoengenuity" around $400.00 with the Ford Pack. I have one of these and it is awesome.

Another that I have heard is also a very good choice is Snap-On's
"Red Brick"
(Nickname) and it is around the same price and may be slightly higher.

C00nHunter has a Ford reader that he just swears by but I have no idea how he came by it or what they cost, but, rest assured if it's got Ford's name on it It's going to cost a bundle.

I think that there are a couple other guys on the forum that have something different but I don't recall just who or what they have.

For a start though, Google Autoengenuity, it will take you to their website and go from there.

Good luck,

Rog

Autoeninguity is a close second

Or you can get a Edge Evolution programmer that will give you more power and a code reader to boot. I am sure the readers mentioned it the other post are better that the one thats a part of the Edge but how fancy to you want to get?
