Does anyone have any opinions on an OBD scanner for the Accord? I guess I'd rather have the interface to my notebook computer, but price is a factor.

A few I'm looking at are:

I'm open to any suggestions!

 

haha, wait a year or so. . . a group of senior electrical engineers at my school is working on an OBD II center that runs on wireless PDA. . .its pretty badass, i think they plan to market it when its done. . .it may not be realistic for you or your time frame, but something to think about. . .

 

what would you hope to accomplish with one of these (what does it do)? sorry for the dumb question...

 

OBD, On Board Diagnostics. It will give you status on the engine components and also trouble shoot problems.

When you get a "Check Engine" light on, this is what the dealer taps into for info.

Click any of the links I posted. Lots of explanation there.

01ACCORD, have you gone any further with this? The odbdiagnostics looks good and cheap - has anyone tried it out?
