I have the Carsoft software #4 in the list. I'm happy with what it does and largely sufficient for the occasional scan and rare code removal.
It comes with all the hardware as per photo and you use a laptop to look at things in the ECU.

Mine is Bluetooth and I use the Android app called Torque. Very very nice.
