    What diagnostic scanner is good for use with the Prime? Not looking to spend a fortune. Must be good for both android and iOS.

    I use OBDLink LX with paid PID specific for the PP (it was a one-time payment of $10). I also used Carista with paid subscription for a PP (free for the first 30 days but will cost $50/yr after the trial). But I have not had reasons to do the full diagnosis on my PP, so I can't say which is better. Most OBD dongles should also work with third-party diagnostic apps like Torque Pro. IIRC, OBDLink LX Bluetooth does not connect to iOS. If you need to use both iOS and Android, then you have to get OBDLink MX+.
