I use the one from AutoEnginuity and like it fine. Reads and resets codes, data logs, does real time sensor readings in graph, guage or dash meter display, like showing O2 trim values and voltage, rpm, airflow, etc. All the usual goodies. It hooks up to my laptop, I don't have a PDA. It also came with a accelerometer type dyno program that you can use while plugged into your OBD2 port. Shows estimated HP(after you enter parameters like weight, tires, etc), torque and a few other things. The cool thing is data logging and real time readings. Helps with seeing what's happening in the engine. Supports wideband too, I think, but maybe only if that's supported by the ecu? I can't remember. I can store the logs on my laptop for future reference. Oh yeah, and it works on all 3 protocols. That's handy too.
