found these on ebay, looks like a cheap reader since all i need is it to read codes. Whats the main difference between the $50 ones and the $300 ones?

Don't buy this on Ebay, check out Harbor Freight.

Funny you should post this I got mine today. I'll be posting a new thread (don't want to hijack yours) and I'll post a link after I've written it.

Easy to plug in, easy to use - don't know if it's right though. We'll see
