How do you find the Auterra? I'm gonna be in the process of buying a scanner for codes and such but I figure I could spend a few more bucks and get something of the sort.

Do you find you use a lot of the functions? And how is when it comes to the diagnosis and such?

The Auterra is about the best there is if you take price, portability and functions all into account. The BR-3 is usually the best bang for the buck, but you're chained to a laptop vs a PDA (unless you get the USB version) and even then the BR-3 doesn't support the CAN function which will be the standard in newer vehicles.

You can see all the Auterra basic OBD functions here:

I wouldn't trade my Auterra for any other reader out on the market right now.
