Transporting stuff to 'vette...
Okay, two things I have already that I will hope to use on my new 'vette:
1) Car Chip E/X -- great little data logger/ code reader-resetter - supposed to work with any OBDII compliant car, but I have seen some functions not supported... so anyone know if ALL paramteres can be read on the '05 vette? (all o2 sensors, throttle position, engine load, temp, RPM, fuel trim, etc, etc)
2) What about Gtech? I have had problem picking up RPM on some vehicles, and that limited functionality on some cars. Anyone using one on C6? Good results?
Thanks!

I know that the Vetronics TechII (official GM code reader) needs a CANdi module to read and reset codes for the C6. Due to the new universal standard req by govt. Make sure that the carchip E/X is CAN compliant

The car chip is a true data logger, and it will show throttle position, RPM, speed, etc for about 75 trips, for about 300 hrs total (only records with car running - I've sometimes left it in for weeks and not filled the memory up), and it is totally unobtrusive (most cars I have used it for, I can install it blind from driver's seat, but you can't see it while driving unless you know where to look.... you can program it to not flash it's built in LED...
So if you have a 'need to know' what is going on when your car is supposed to be either idle, or in responsible hands....
