What OBD2 Tool Would You Recommend For Non-Volvo Vehicles?

[Oka]

For the Volvos, the VIDA/DiCE has been an inevitable tool to own, especially since I work on my vehicles.

I also have an Innova 3100a OBDII scanner I've had for a long time now. What would you suggest I get, to be able to use with my smart phone (more modern tool), that will be at a comparable cost. I have been watching videos on FIXD, some commentators claim it is just to read and clear codes, nothing else, except paying the monthly fee; which I don't need. Also, they claim FIXD has lots of adverts with the basic tool ($20). I need a tool to buy and own with not monthly fee. Just want to scan the cars, (Toyota Sienna, Subaru Outback), get what might be wrong, and I can go from there. I mean, I would like a scanner that would be smart iphone compatible, and give me more information about the scanned vehicle.

Thanks

You can definitely get an Android app, not sure about iPhone

It depends.

First thing I'd do would be to try for a factory scanner w 2-way capability at a price that was not punishingly high.

Next in line - for a generic OBDII the ELM327 dongle with bluetoothe or wifi connectivity, paired with an app like Torque or Car Scanner.
