I bought one. Liked it so much I bought another one.
One is usually loaned out.
If you aren't into burning chips and being obsessed with tuning your ECM to a knat's eyelash then you'll be happy with the Ez Link scanner.
It's easy to use and can be upgraded right over the net.
A great device for standard DIY troubleshooting and repairs.
Mine goes with me whenever I hit the highway for a road trip.

Yes you can see each sensor. Only difference between this type scanner and the ones that use a laptop computer is with this one you have to select WHICH sensor you want to look at. You can only examine one sensor at a time but you can scroll through them all while the car is running (or driving)
It will also record 30 seconds of operational data.
It will allow you to reset error codes generated by the ECM.
AutoXray has good customer service too if I didn't mention it before.
The scanner can easily be updated as newer cars come out. A nice feature.
It's not expensive to update either.
It's a pretty nice tool to have around the garage.

They'll read all the codes....also autoxray is working on-and it should be out within 6 mos or so-another cable and further software updates-and it will datalog directly to a laptop in a full screen just like diacom!

It will read and show all the PCM codes.
I don't think it does the SRS aka Airbag stuff OR the ABS brake codes.
I've never seen them on mine.
One nice feature is it WILL read OBD-I and OBD-II vehicles.
I use mine on my 84 Vette,91 Vette,98 LS-1 Z-28 etc.
Haven't tried it on the Z06 but I'm pretty confident it will work there as well.
Drive-it: That sounds pretty good. I'll want that update.
You can download your 30 second run with the EzLink feature but I don't consider it a full bore datalogging,tuning whizbang tool.
It IS a good troubleshooting and diagnosis tool to get your car back running when a sensor or something like that has flaked out.
Hope this helps.
