Code reader

Do you guys have a recommendation for a solid code reader for a garage DIYer? Prices are all over the charts so thought i'd ask what you all use and if you'd recommend any particular unit.

Any particular feature we would need for our JK? Any brands to stay away from?

I'm looking for more details on engine codes. Recently my 2012 threw a P0349 code. Searched on here and google to see what it meant since my tuner didn't have any description on the code. My current tuner can read and clear codes but the database seems limited after the most recent code.

So that got me thinking about a more robust code reader.

I'd like to have more detail on a code when it comes up in the future. Then decide if its something i can attempt to fix on my own or take it in to the shop.

Appreciate the feedback!

Correct... i have replaced them both. She seems to be running great atm.

However, when i was searching online, i saw guys showing their code readers with the same code but their code readers also showed which bank. Mine wouldn't even show the description of the code.

So that's the reason for my search for a better tool.

Yeah, look at the link I posted above. Under $200 and it gives quite a bit of info. Also does live data and recording.
