Default Best OBD Scanner Tool?

Hi. Can someone recommend a good reasonably priced OBD scanner for my 2020 Discovery?
I'm not looking for dealer-level capability, but one that can provide useful diagnostics, reset codes and turn on/off certain functions (e.g. reverse dip mirror without memory seats). Thanks!

GapIID seems to be most popular for JLR

I have no idea if this scanner will let you code mirrors or seats but it did have a huge list of diagnostic monitoring.
I used it to monitor transmission fluid temperature to check for proper fluid level during my transmission service.
It is much better than my more expensive Foxwell paperweight.
Worth a try for such a low price:

V-gate OBD2 in the port, $20 at Amazon, and Car Scanner App on my phone to connect to the V-gate via Bluetooth

I have a Launch CRP909E. About $330. Super-useful, it even performs the service resets. It may be a bit much for you. My mechanic son said "the launch pad is the best bang for the buck".

Thanks. That's actually the one I was leaning toward. $330 seems reasonable.

GapIID tool is the best. You can activate and reset certain parameters that generic OBD2 readers can't touch. Gen 4 was recently released, and supports the 2020+ DoIP interface.

Pricey, but highly recommended.

I too have the launch CRP 909. Does pretty good. You can use it on multiple vehicles.
