    Go to AutoZone or Advanced.

    They will read OBDII Codes for FREE!

    Or..... just buy a Tune from a Vendor here, and get an XCal2 that can read codes! Win - Win!

    Yeah, it seems like it would be nice to have real time data right on the dashboard. Anybody have any experience with these or similar?
