What FREE programs are out there that will let me use my laptop and ftdi cable as a OBD-II reader?  I just want to be able to scan and clear codes on any make/model automobile.

Thanks

For windows I use digimoto. There's probably something better but it was the first program I found that was reliable and supported all the OBD2 features properly.
