Which obdii scan tool to use.

I just bought my wife a new phone so I have her s3 as a permanent reader for the truck. Just need to know what tool folks have the best luck with. Thanks.

A proper OBDII adaptor. Be wary of the Chinese knock-offs for 20 bucks - they are fickle from application to application. I paid something like $80 - $100 for mine, and it works with everything I've tried so far.

Torque Pro is the Almighty on the Android. That being said... there are other apps with more features like Buzz test and CCT, but they are unpolished - and my attempt to use them left my truck in a strange "mode" until I had to clear it with my "real" scan tool.
