Actron Scanner P9185

I'm going to pick one of these up with the adapter for OBD I. Has anyone bought and used this one? How do you like it?

By the way, SPX makes both Actron, Supro and Auto -Xray scarnners.

Re: Actron Scanner P9185

I went ahead and bought the P9185 the same day I posted this. Cost was $330.00 at Autozone, the GM OBDI was $25.00 from Pep-Boys special order. It works great on my Z28. It reads the codes just fine. Some of the other options such as the graph displays are not avaliable when using with OBDI.

Re: Actron Scanner P9185

sounds like a winner. i prefer my solus scanner, but its a little out of the price range for most do-it-yourselfers.

I know what you mean. Could just use the paperclip method on my Camaro, but having a readout and what is, is just very convenient. Also I can use it on my OBDII cars anyways.

Forgot to mention, the scanner also has an emmisions ready test. I haven't tried it though.
