Here that's what I've used for the past 4 years.

$30

That will pay for itself on your first use. Obviously it won't get SPECIFIC codes as this doesn't know what SZL is or Active Steering etc etc... But it will tell you basics to look for. That and a little knowledge AND this forum and you'll probably save thou$ands easily.

Not affiliated with that ebayer at all but I'm sure he/she will be happy I did some advertising for him/her.

My car did that. Turned out to be a bad ignition coil on one of the cylinders.
