    Go to eBay and search for V1.4 ELM327 OBD2 OBDII CAN-BUS Diagnostic Scanner USB. I bought one from ebay seller tomtop_digital for about $14 and it shipped free from China. Got it in about two weeks. The guy has sold way over 1,000 of them. You can also get the Elmscan 5 Compact from Amazon (which I don't have, but it is a little more expensive, and others here have reported it works).
