Default Best Diagnostic Scanner for Dodge

Hi Guys

Wondering if I could get some recommendations on the best diagnostic scanners for Dodge cars?

I want to spend top end around $200 I guess. I want something decent that will access as many modules as possible, including HVAC.

I was considering the Launch Creader VII+ as a possibility at $199, but not sure if that can access HVAC? And also not sure if I could get away with spending a lot less to do the same job?

All help welcome!!!

autoenginuity has a great laptop based system that can do bi-directal control pretty much the same as wi-tech. if you buy the dodge/chrysler package its $300ish and you can expand later to other makes.

Here is the website. Nice thing about it is updates are cheap vs snap-on. They also can deal with gateway security modules for the new fca products.
