I got the one off Ebay, cost was 29, and it works good.
And no it would not void your warrenty.

No, it can only read parameters and clear codes. It can't alter anything in the software.

I use the Torque Pro app for Android with an ELM327 Bluetooth OBDII reader.

I used to have a droid x that i bought a windshield mount/holder for and mounted on windshield bottom center. I've since gotten a RazrM but no mount as of yet. Need to start looking for one I guess.

Unless it's changed, the free version is dramatically different from the paid version in both appearance and functionality.

The paid version is miles better.

It's pretty cool, I use it just to check up on things and clear an occasional code on my cars if need be.

PAY ATTENTION: They make both a bluetooth and a wifi "dongle" (I hate that word haha) and the bluetooth one is only good for android phones. If you have an iPhone, you need the wifi "dongle," like this one...

If you have an iPhone you can get a GoPoint BT1 which is bluetooth... I believe the only Apple approved one. I use a different app but the capabilities of these things are cool none the less...

Yep, and that's a good way to hurt a 6'ers Feeling 0-60 in 14 - 18 secs

anybody cheeck out ther CAI temps?
Mine pegs out while sitting still at somewhere around 120 degrees, but once you start moving it drops pretty quick to just about a couple of degrees above ambient temps.
Around 70mph it really stays almost at ambient.

anybody else notice heat soak while sitting still?
