I have this Foxwell that I bought several years ago after a recommendation
on Grassroots Motorsports forum.  I bought it specifically because it can
diagnose ABS codes.  It also has free updates.  Plug it into your computer
and use the included software to install any available updates.
Since then I've bought other Foxwell products and been happy with them.
