Autoenginuity has a good reputation. Also, check out cheap Elm scanner. I have no direct experience with Elm though.

I got this one when it was one sale for $99. and use a 25% off coupone. It has worked on a lot of differnt cars that I have tryed. It does live data and you can down load it to a computer and also print it out. http://www.harborfreight.com/can-obd...abs-60796.html

I've been very happy with this one. Some of the help on the web doesn't seem to match up exactly to the selections on the scanner, but the info is there and not too hard to find.
