Best cheap autodiagnostic tool

[Ezy]

Hello everyone, im newbie at this forum and i hope we all can be friends.
So i want buy auto diagnostic tool for 50-70€. I saw this one at

http://www.amazon.com/Autel-AL519-Color-Screen-OBDII/dp/B007XE5LTG/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1413233433&sr=1-1&keywords=AUTEL

and was ready to buy it but then i concluded that amazon dont accept PayPal what is my only payment method available. So i check at ebay and see a lot of china stuff ,but is they any good ? Like this one

http://www.ebay.com/itm/U581-OBD-OBD2-CAN-BUS-Auto-Scanner-LIVE-DATA-Code-Reader-Diagnostic-Tool-/181441094406?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a3ebb6306

So i ask for somebody with experience to suggest me what to buy. I think i need tool that can show and delete error codes, show live sensor data, and more features like AL519 have?

With respect ezy.

a bluetooth obd2 adapter is what you need.

this will link into either a smartphone or pc

(loads of obd2 apps on playstore toto read codes etc)

Depends what vehicle or vehicles you are trying to read codes from most generic diagnostic tools will only read the none manufacturer specific codes ie P0xxx. Codes >P1xxx will normally need manufacturer specific software and/or OBD tools to read these codes

I need it for as many vehicles as possible except the VAG. Already have VAGC0M and i am happy with that purchase.
Today i start thinking about autocom Multi-Cardiag M8 CDP. Any experince with that?

Whatever you choose,ensure it has more capability than just read-off,and the better manufacturers are faster with the updates,character additions,and the inevitable back-up you will require. The most expensive kit will not help you if no-one answers the phone,the day after...:conehead:

Best to buy is the ELM327 interface....it covers all OBD/ OBD1/ OBD2 protocols, and is compatible with all manufactures software...I personally use it with Forscan free ford software. And bought it to recode new injectors on my Mondeo
