Has anyone used a scanner to pull codes on the C6? If so what kind and what are the features to look for?

I only use the Tech 2. It is full featured and is the only scanner supported by GM.

Who makes the Tech2? What is the price? Many manuf. of hand held reader/scanners say they are working on a unit for the C6. I think it's bull. Promised in March , than May, etc., don't think they can figure out the software!!

GM swithced to CAN communication on the C6 instead of Serial like most previous vehicles. You cannot use a Tech 2 without the Candi Module that adapts it to read CAN. GM doesn't readily give this code out to everyone since it is considered proprietary. Vtronics makes the Tech 2 and Candi Module. Expect ~3500 for a new Tech 2 and an additional 1500 for a Candi Module.

I am looking for an affordable model that I can use on my other cars in addition to the Corvette. I work a little on friends auto's and I thought OBD11 car's were all compatable for the simple stuff.

Thanks for the input. Sounds like the tech 11 is used by the dealership.
