Princess Auto used to carry this one for around $150, that's the one I have, works good.

I only wish that the CANBUS ones were a little cheaper....x

Try $300 with no tunes. <_<

And it's VIN locked, you can't use it for any other car, I use it for all my vehicles.

I generally charge people $10 (donation, cheaper than $80 at the dealer) to read their codes, to defray the cost of my purchase. Probably half paid off now.

The XCAL2 tunes are locked for 1 vehicle, you can do datalogging and read codes on ANY ford vehicle.

autozone reads codes for free. (are there autozones in canada?)

and don't pay more for the ones that give you a description of the code, just the code plus the internet is good enough
