Default Code Reading C6....

Well it looks like it may be time to purchase a C6. My question is do I need a special code reader to check the codes or can I do it the same as my C5? If I need a code reading device what one do you guys own. I am still searching for the right car, but would like to have one if needed. Thanks Sixty4.

Greetings,

Good luck in your search. You will need a code reader. Here is a good thread in C6 Tech with a couple of choices for you.

I just came from a '97 and I couldn't be happier. You won't regret it (other than no longer being able to clear our codes...
Here is link to a write up I did with my first impressions from the C5 to the C6 for you.

I currently own a 01 vert. I plan on keeping it. Any good advise on what to look for. I will be buying used as I just can't afford a new one. I do want another vert. I usually check all body panels and do the car fax thing, I will also check the codes on this one. Anything inherent to the C6's I should be looking out for. I strayed a little from the original post (sorry). Thanks Mark Sixty4. All help is WELCOME.
