Can someone reccomend a very good but inexpensive scanner for the jaguar x type pls. American (left) and european(right hand) models. I am in the Miami , Florida area. Include an address as well.

Thanks much.

 

I like my Equus 3130, but you may be fine with an Equus 3040. Go to www.iequus.com Amazon.com and Walmart.com have great prices. The 3040 will be about $80 and it will let you see live data (as it happens).

Snap-on tools carries this brand.

Watch out for the ABS data ones. They may only work on the big name cars.

 

This is the exact model I have: UPDATABLE CAN Universal OBD2 OBD II Code Scanner/Reader - eBay (item 190517330899 end time Mar-29-11 17:00:00 PDT)

It tells a descriptor of the code on screen, has real-time data logging, and allows you to erase. Also looks up dealer codes - P1xxx.

 

I just use the cheap eBay ELM 327 that hooks up to my computer. Works fine for me. I get real time data too. Its kind of flimsy but does the job. If I made a living by using one, I'd buy a nicer one, but for $22, it works fine

Mine is the bluetooth one btw.

Looks like this seller is charging more for it now, but I bought it for $22.

 

@ Glen... thanks much for the info. I just got my Equus/Innova 3100 from walmart for about $100.00 bucks. Am sure this will help in solving my many issues with my x type.
