I have an AutoXray 6000 scanner that will work on most any vehicle, but it costs about $400. Do you want a scanner or just a code reader? B/C with a scanner, you can look at realtime data and do MUCH more than just reading codes. I think you can get a basic one for fairly cheap. I'd go with AutoXray or Actron either way. Never used an Actron but hear they're pretty good. I stand by AutoXray products for the average car enthusiast.

The model CP 9135 does not appear to be able to display/read live vehicle data.

Check out this site to compare info. on some models:
