Code Reader/Scanner

[Token_Indian]

Hey,

I wanted to get a code reader for my 14' SR5 and wanted to get the opinion of what people are using. There are 2 that I am interested in and a considerable price difference. My question is the price difference worth it?

I am only interested in getting some more information from the battery charge, trans temp, tire pressure, update the tire size..ie.

I guess the main difference between the 2 are on is wired and the other is blue tooth. I have the 2 I am interested in linked below. If you have recommendations I am all ears!

I have an OBDLink MX+ and like it a lot. It's very capable. I've used it on my '13 VW, an '07 suburban and mostly on my '15 Ram. The expandable features for reading more data on different vehicles is very handy. The reason I use mine on the Ram so much is to provide a data path to run AlphaOBD which is a program that I believe is similar to Techstream but for Chrysler products. I've enabled/disabled many features on my truck that would otherwise have to be done by the dealership.

Been using the Foxwell NT301 myself – works perfectly if you're just checking battery status, trans temp, and basic stuff. Honestly prefer the wired connection – physical buttons are way quicker than fiddling with apps.I Got it here: Foxwell NT301 OBD2 & EOBD Scanner Professional Enhanced Diagnostic Cod

I am using a Scanguage2 to solve CE codes. I also keep it connected on my steering column to provide various engine & tranny real time data. I usually have 4 tire pressure showing.

Since this topic can apply to most years of T4Rs, I'm moving this to General Discussion where more people can see and participate.
