Scan tool suggestions

[okmech1]

Hey all,

I am wondering if anyone has suggestions as to which scan tool to use on the Rodeo/Passport? I am wanting to be able to look at as many PCM values as possible when/if needed for troubleshooting problems that come up. I have done a lot of looking at the Actron series of scan tools, but also have looked at either ELM or Autotap for the ability to hook up to a laptop and read the values on more dynamic readouts. I don't know much about the CAN protocols of newer vehicles and which scan tool does better with that should I need to use it on my newer vehicle.

Anyone out there have any pros or cons of either that they would be willing to share?

Thanks!
Mark
