ElmScan 5 Compact USB OBD-II Scan Tool and OBDWiz Engine Diagnostic Software (423001)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is an alright product:
Pros:
+Read & Reset Check Engine Light codes
+Can read many OBD parameters (just not with the included program)
Cons:
-Slow. The refresh rate is at best 1-3 updates per second when reading OBD2 values. This is way to slow to be of much use.
-Fuel mileage calculations with included software is woefully optimistic
-Included software can only read a few parameters. There are some free software alternatives, but most of the good stuff is quite expensiveOverall:
Decent for CEL reading/resetting. Although, a cheap handheld device does the same thing and is more portable.
Poor for monitoring values over OBD2. The refresh rate is too low to be of much diagnostic use.
