For an occasional use on one car (S2000, only)?

Thanks!

Yes, for occasional use, 3 vehicles... 2005 S2000, 2010 Dodge Ram pickup, and 2014 Dodge Charger , and in the future, who knows.

Think mine is an Innova one, $50 or so. Does the trick.

I have an Innova OBDII reader, too. An old 3160. Reads and clears. Very reliable. But, out of the $100 price range.

I have the Blue Driver one, gets the job done. Both products you linked look like they do the same thing. With the Blue Driver you can mount your phone and display live sensor data (coolant temp, intake temp, etc) without a cable dangling around your legs.

I have 0 complaints about it. I use it to check/clear codes and check my smog readiness. I've also used it when I've gone to purchase used cars to see if any codes are pending (which wont throw a CEL, but could eventually) or if the ECU has been recently reset.

Good to hear, EVERYTHING I read about it was good... other than those that had no idea what they were doing.
