Hi all! I'm looking for a good OBD2 scanner that I can use via Bluetooth with my iPhone 5/iPad 2. I will be getting one for my dad too. If there is one that is universally accepted here a link to amazon or other reputable online retailer it would be MUCH appreciated! My hunting on amazon doesn't seem to be too fruitful and I'd much rather take the recommendation of AI.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll look into some of those other options more. I researched a little more and found the whole Bluetooth nonsense with Apple products. It's rather disappointing to say the least.

Hey tool thread, I'm looking for an EZ Out, preferably the ones made of adamantium that I've seen used in the other threads. It's to remove some ~12mm bolts that the head broke off that holds the plastic shroud over my intercooler. The thing just snapped off with no warning that the bolt was tight. A link to amazon or again, if a HF unit would suffice id be okay with that.

Mind snapping a pic real quick? It sounds like there's almost certainly another way to go about removing the broken bolts. I've never seen a shroud bolt or anything related to an intercooler that would absolutely require an ez-out if it broke.

Yeah. I'll snap some later and post them up!

Here are the broken bolts. I thought I could try to slot them with the dremel and use a blade screw driver to get them out. No such luck. My plans now are to use a conical dremel bit to smooth out the bolt and then use smaller . larger drill bits until I can get a good bite with an easy out - unless someone has a better suggestion for me!
