Default Tech 1 Scanner Alternatives
Is there another Bi Directional that offers the same functionality as the Tech 1A? The tech 1A seems to still be a pretty expensive scanner. It is also from what I have read can be somewhat limiting function wise. If the scanner could do both OBD 2 and OBD 1 that would be great.

MT2500 seems like a nice unit, but what cartridges are needed to troubleshoot the C4's?
