Actually code readers are cheap if you have a smartphone and/or tablet. I bought a Bluetooth one for $12 at Amazon and downloaded the free version of Torque on my phone. Once I used it more than twice, I paid the fee minimal fee and got the paid version.

I use it all the time on all my cars, not just to look at codes but to look at other items, and sometimes just to play around to see what the car is doing when driving.

For the 86 get a low profile one. I have one of the older, long ones and it gets in the way when driving.

Post your 86 or see others in front of a(n) (in)famous landmark.
