...a good model would be the 3100A or even better the 3100C, there was an older model that was just labeled as the 3100....this model will not work. Or you can spend more money and get even a better unit in the 3400 series.

AutoEnginuity
Thanks for all the great info. But I am using the autoenginuity PC setup. This allows me to graph + collect data for many system parameters. I am looking for more than just a code reader. The auto industry says CAN will be mandatory for 2008 vehicles. I have not been able to locate information on the type of busses installed in 2007 year vehicles.

You do not want a CAN only based scanner.
CAN is what is the newer generic EPA OBD standard
You want a scanner that does GMLAN and CAN
This is a must for a C6 so you can obtain all GM enhanced parameters and there is a bunch of them where CAN is slower data speeds and does not support other modules on the C6 that are on the GMLAN (network)
Best is a scanner that also does VPW so that if using with older C5s then it also would do GM enhanced and faster data rate then older OBD-II
Scanner I uise does all of those and sees everything in my C6 including airbag, HUD, Onstar.
