Sorry - but you are out of luck on the "cheap" side. There's only one "reader" available, and its .....

FREE

Get a paperclip! Then, read the FAQ article located off the main page here:

All you need is to bridge the two connections on the upper right corner of the harness and turn the key on, then count the flashes... but that was probably covered in the article I didn't bother to read.

Autozone will give you a little 'key' if you ask too. I find it's hassle free and works fine, but the paper clip works just as well.
