Default OBD II Scanners

Hi,

does anyone have any experience with Pro Scan (MyScantool.com) ? I was wondering if this is a good tool and what experience have you had with order entry, customer service, Shipping ? Thanks

Just making sure you know you can pull up all the codes on the DIC

Don't waste your money. The DIC does more.

The DIC and a volt-ohm meter is usually all you need.

Not true, I have one for my laptop that allows me 2 way communication so I can test subsystems (like moving the EGR or EVAP valves).

I said "USUALLY", I know there are times when you need additional capabilities.

It's nice to be able to "plugin" and troubleshoot without taking a bunch of things apart. Don't even have to get dirty sometimes.

Want a good scanner w/ all accys.?
Try the following link - http://devildogtools.com/index.html
Look for the Actron CP9190

This is a complete setup for all vehicles and Mike Kelly has the cheapest price going for this model. List for the 9190 is about $600.00, his price is about $250.
I just bought it from him after finding his company thru Google and never had a prob ordering, receiving quickly anything from him!
Hope this helps.

PS: No I'm not affiliated with him in any way, just a satisfied customer.

I have been looking for something with similar abilities to the Tech 2. With the Autoenginuity system what sub-systems can you command? You mentioned EGR and EVAP can you add or remove the RPO info?

I agree, my car's DIC is nice, but have you ever tried to use it in other cars?
