I would just like to have one handy. I figure one that works on the jeep would also work on a challenger which is our other vehicle.

I have AlfaOBD. I used it to add proximity locks to my 2020 Gladiator and upgrade the 7" to 8.4" radio with navigation on our 2020 Compass. Looking at the menus on it I see Challenger (LA) and Challenger (LC).

Not sure about other FCA vehicles but works on Jeep..This is posted on the Bing Search:
OBD JScan
APP
‎What is OBD JScan? OBD JScan is powerful Jeep & Chrysler & Dodge diagnostic application. JScan allows reading standard Diagnostic Trouble Codes (emission related), general Live Data and Adaptations and much more.

for 2018 and newer an additional bit... the Jscan (http://jscan.net) to work on the Gladiator requires an additional connector harness..
*This vehicle requires Security Bypass module

It is very reasonable on price and the necessary bluetooth OBD Adapters.

Are you wanting to do adaptations, or just read codes? There are a bunch of Bluetooth code readers available. If you want to do adaptations also, I can recommend JScan and the OBDMX+. If unsure, you could get the OBDMX+, and get the JScan later if desired.

The app that comes with the OBDMX+, which is also available separately, is very powerful.
