hi there
 
this is the one that most of us use...

you're able to share 'live' data with others that helps in diagnosing problems.

hi there
 
really you would want the tri can lead. a bit pricey, but future proof (most other cars).

hi there
 
the software is all the same (from obd-2, anyway).
 
it's the 'black box' on the lead that's different.
 
i only have the pwm lead, but one day i'll upgrade to the tri can.

It's the lead you buy - software is free download, but you need the unlock code that comes with the lead, although you can install the software just to see what it's like.
