96LT4-Can I use a OBD 2 handheld?
I have a diablosport trinity I used on my Chrysler 300 and no longer want to use it for that vehicle. Are there available tunes for my CE? Are there any handhelds for the 96's? Thanks for any replies...I'm a noobie

A 96 is definitely OBD2, but it's on a 16-pin connection and protocol that makes it less universally connected than later cars. For instance, in terms of PC-based tuning, HP Tuners and other typical applications and cables don't work. Jet DST and LT1-Edit are the only options for that. I don't know about handheld scanners. They might be able to read it but not flash new tunes to it. In short, research carefully before buying.
