Can I use any OBDII code reader?
hope this isn't a bumb question... looking to buy a code reader and I'm not sure if theres a certain type that I need to get.
I keep seeing OBDII scanners but I can't find anything that will tell me if my porsche needs/requires a certain type of scanner.
I know I can go to any auto parts store and they will read the codes for me.... which I did yesterday.
But i don't want to keep going back each time i fix/swap a part to see if that code is cleared.
can someone tell me if this Code Scanner work with my Porsche?
