I want to get a scanner for my car but I would prefer the one that plugs into a laptop because the laptop version would have more information I would suspect. Any links or info please?

Thanks

google Autotap

I also have autotap and am very happy with it.

Some have actron scanners..however can't use their laptop and record data to my knowledge.

I too have an autotap and am very happy with it.

I do believe that the newer ($$$) Actron scanner has a computer interface along with it to download data files, but I don't like it nearly as much as the HIGHLY customizable interface (dashboard) in Autotap.

Do the Autotap use USB or is it a serial to usb adaptor? Well then again I guess it would have to be cause the OBDI and OBDII ports are serial?

There is a USB available.

And it rocks.

Yeah, I have the USB model and I absolutely love it. Works great (after a bit of tweaking).

One thing you won't get with an autotap is compatibility to anything but OBD2 and newer...

autotap can be bought in either form. their website can tell you more.
