If you get a German car I would absolutely recommend the iCarly because it will allow you to unlock a lot of things that are pre loaded in the ECU. It will read codes on other cars but it won’t do the ECU coding.
Is that subscription based? I have a cheapo reader that only reads engine codes. Recently sold my old car and one of the people had a Blue Driver. Considering getting one just to have.
I have the BAFX one, and it is ok, but then I bought the blue driver and it gives me so much more. It gives me all sorts of vehicle specific codes that the other one didn’t give me. I have the app, and I think I had to sign up for it, but I’m not paying any subscription. And I honestly don’t even remember if I had to sign up for the app or just download it.
That’s why I was interested in the reader. The guy had saw a code for something about the tires. Granted my TMPS light had been on a couple weeks before and after I aired them up and drove a bit the light went out. Computer must have still been storing the code.
Blue driver is a really nice Bluetooth obd2 adapter. It was absolutely worth the $80 I paid for it.

It’s Carly, not iCarly.
I hope I saved someone the agony of looking at the google results for the latter.
I second this. I used mine professionally for quite a while and it was really nice and super convenient
Thirdeded. I keep one in each glove box on the newer cars because it’s the only way you’ll figure out wtf is going on with them sometimes.

The device costs a little bit more in exchange for access to the app. I got it because it was on sale and had the ability to read abs codes.
Blue driver gives access to transmission codes too which a lot of those readers do not
