Default OBD code readers for HCHII - What do you use?

I would like to know what OBD code readers people have used on their HCHII.

I understand that several auto parts stores offer a free scan of your codes but I'm considering purchasing one.

Thanks.

I use the cheap Harbor Freight Cen-tech OBDII unit that was $35.00 on sale.

I have a Scangauge II also but it is in my Truck to display mpg and instant mpg.

Thanks Larry,

This is really what I have been trying to find out. Does the Harbor Freight model work alright? Any problems/issues?

The Harbor Freight is fine for reading Check Engine Codes and clearing them.

Update to my earlier posts:

In March 2013 I ended up purchasing an Autel MaxiScan MS300 scanner via Amazon that could reset trouble codes but could not read Honda-specific codes.

Last week, I purchased a LYL Elm327 WIFI OBDII dongle that communicates with my iPhone 5 via wireless (not Bluetooth). It is a really great product, it reads manufacturer-specific codes, and only costs about $25 on Amazon. It resets/clears trouble codes and can also reset your MIL.
