OBD Scanner

OK. Did my search, read the threads. Did not find a source for this scanner, and exactly how to hook it up. Sorry in advance if I missed it.

do a scan for "Actron". That's the brand of OBD scanner that I have. I picked up a used one on eBay a few years ago for about $50. It plugs into a port that is in the drivers side footwell under the dash.

How can I know which to get? I want one that I can scan all my cars, ls400 1995, Mitsubishi montero 2000, and BMW x5 4.4i 2003.

I have the Actron CP9135, which has worked in every car (post 1997) that I've ever tried it on.

Never heard of any of these scanners, but then again, I haven't researched them...Will any of these do airbag and check-engine resets for BMW-specific OBD 2?

I really wanted to try one to confirm before I take it in that there
are no codes before the stealer tells me there are none.

I also bought Peake scanners for the BMW codes.
