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!

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.
Pricey, but highly recommended.

@gmfain @sowrco I just picked up the Launch CRP909E and am able to connect to my wife's 2010 Volvo V70, but am having issues connecting to my 2017 D5 TD6 HSE. Have either of you had that issue? If so, any solutions? It is giving me "Before the diagnosis starts, please confirm that the device has been connected to the obd interface.". Thanks in advance!
