OBD code readers for HCHII - What do you use?
I would like to know what OBD code readers people have used on their HCHII.
I understand that several auto parts stores offer a free scan of your codes but I'm considering purchasing one.
Thanks.

I use the cheap Harbor Freight Cen-tech OBDII unit that was $35.00 on sale.
I have a Scangauge II also but it is in my Truck to display mpg and instant mpg.

This is really what I have been trying to find out. Does the Harbor Freight model work alright? Any problems/issues?
Update to my earlier posts:
In March 2013 I ended up purchasing an Autel MaxiScan MS300 scanner via Amazon that could reset trouble codes but could not read Honda-specific codes.
Last week, I purchased a LYL Elm327 WIFI OBDII dongle that communicates with my iPhone 5 via wireless (not Bluetooth). It is a really great product, it reads manufacturer-specific codes, and only costs about $25 on Amazon. It resets/clears trouble codes and can also reset your MIL.
