Absolutely yes, there are even aftermarket dash mount scanners available.

WOW Sounds like you spent alot of money. First lets get you on the path of saving some of that money. Go online and look up AUTEL Maxiscan MS300 OBD II code reader. This is a relatively inexpensive (less than $50.00) scanner and it works very well for most home uses. You need to determine which cylinder has the misfire and if it is above or below 1000 rpms. Once you know that you can troubleshoot the coil and plugs by simply taking the suspected bad one and put it in a different cylinder to see if the misfire moves to that cylinder. It's cheaper than replacing all of them. If you know it is not the spark plug, coil or the spark plug boot the next thing to check is the wire bundle connectors to the coil packs.A misfire is not a killer so you have time to wait for your scanner to come in and go from there. That scanner can save you and your friends and family a ton of money. Well worth it. Good luck.
No, unless there is an indicator light in the socket.

A scanner is a device that reads documents etc, and converts them into electronic form for use by the computer. Think of it like a small version of a photocopier - they work in very similar ways.
first of all, do you have the right thermostat? ie: winter, summer. if so i would get the radiator checked, it may be getting pluged.
You should find scanners that offer the ability to scan to PDF. You should also look for a scanner that is an OCR scanner. Frist, of course, be sure that it is compatible with your computer. Secondly, it if supports TWAIN you will get more life out of the model as even when they stop writing driver for it your system should still be able to access it. Finally, a scanner with a removable lid is great for scanning oversized books, maps etc.
You cant make it stronger, but make sure when your laptop is finished charging unpluge it dont keep your laptop pluged in all the time. if its still dont last long it might be time to replace it.
In the state of Wisconsin it is legal to have police scanner in your car. The question is can you listen you need to ask is if it is possible. Most police departments are upgraded to digital systems that includes encrytion to keep people from listening. Some places still use the old scanners, but those are becoming far and few between. Also note that if your using the scanner do dodge the cops, then it is illegal to have the scanner in your car. Hope that answers your question
