Hello,
Is there some type of software program for my laptop that will read the OBDII codes and reset them? Is there a special cable that needs to be purchased to go from the laptop to the car?
My engine light comes on intermittently and am told it is due to my K&N oil based air filter and the MAF. I am due for inspection, and figure I can try and put on a traditional air filter, reset the codes, and take it through inspection with no faults.
THanks

While you can pick up a OBD II reader at any auto part store for less than $100, the Durametric has some additional funtionality including the ability to clear airbag lights and read the DME. I bought one a couple months back.
