I have one of those actron pocket scan readers, had it for 10 years now since 96 & still works. Only reads codes though that's it.

Habbibie looks like a good reader still has good reviews might be a good way to go, carry a reader like that then set up for the forscan for like data,,,

I have a Bosch that does ABS as well. I think I spent 119 for it. I should have gone up a step to get the other functions but it works for what I need. I had purchased a windows app with a bluetooth dongle but had more trouble with that than it was worth and sent it back. If you work on vehicles alot just spend the money on a good hand held. They are fast generally work quite well.

I have both a generic Android bluetooth dongle using Torque Pro and the VeePeak wifi for iphone using OBD Fusion. Both are similar and I like them both. They both are very adaptable for guage displays and have the ability to be used as a HUD.

Thanks Chris do you find anything lacking with the OBD Fusion software? I will look into that one
