Just checking to see if anyone has purchased their own, and which one? CEL came on again in my 07 ms3. Don't want to have to go to the dealer each time.

Thanks

CT sells them and sometimes pretty cheaply.

I have a Dash Hawk and a Cobb AP, both of which can read codes.

Mine just came on yesterday out of the blue. It has been doing that off and on since I put my intake on.

mine came on a few minutes after filling up. So took the gas cap off again cleaned it and the spout and put back in. I'll drive for a few more days to see what happens.

Got it on sale. A tad overkill perhaps.

^+1. I like how it does more than just read codes, and I use the realtime monitoring a lot.

Got mine on ebay. Works great. Here's one auction that sells them:
