OBD2 scanners
What OBD2 scanner are you guys using?
Is just a generic ELM327 bluetooth scanner enough to read and clear fault codes or is it preferable to get something more like carly.?

myself, i like and use Carly on Android - it's able to see many if not ALL the ECU modules, and can erase/reset Airbag Lights after i mess with the seats, etc.
these features are typically seen in (much) pricier equipment. i use it with the Carly Bluetooth Dongle, as I want to be sure I'm able to see all the modules.
the only down side for me (and they may have fixed/updated this), is that it doesn't display Transmission temps.
if you have iPhone, check with those Carly users, as the iPhone experience may be different than Android.
