I've been considering again getting the Autotap tool. Had considered getting
this a few years back but didn't have a laptop at the time.
Just got an email from autotap telling of their new product. Looks to be
the same hardware but an entirely new software package. www.autotap.com
For $200 and if you have a laptop, there is some impressive diagnostic
ability. Not just a code reader but can read and display all the engine and
BCM data. ABS and transmission codes are not supported (which is not a deal
breaker but I'm not happy). Other thing is that aside from resetting the
Check Engine Light, it's a read only device; you can't change any program
values or exercise solenoids. Still, the data you can read a wealth of data.

Good Luck,
