What Bluetooth code scanners do y’all have?Is it worth getting a Bluedriver or OBDlink MX for around $100 or do the $30 range ones get it done effectively?Don’t care about real time info while driving and some of the other “features”, just want something that will reliably read and clear ALL codes. IOS compatible. It’s hard to see which of the cheap ones you’re on the hook for an expensive app to make it work and some don’t readily have apps in the App Store. Reccomendations?

Be aware that standard readers will not read all the codes on most diesel trucks if you have one. That generally calls for a more expensive reader with a pack for your truck model unless something new has come out.

I use a $22 bluetooth scanner from Amazon and a $4 app. Reads and resets fault codes on everything I've plugged it into so far.Found #8 coil pack on my motorhome was bad.

Currently, the tuner for the diesel does codes for it and the 2016 Charger reads, displays and clears its own codes (why more vehicles don't do this?). Have a few 80s to early 2000s vehicles that I "need" one for....at the moment.

This is all I "really" need but I usually buy tools for the long haul and the more expensive ones like Bluedriver seem to have more support with updates and not multiple options of which app needs purchased for what you need to do with it. Appreciate the responses so far.
