my girl is making me make her an xmas list, i have no idea what i want so im trying to think outside the box. would love to get a good obd 2 with live data and maybe even up-datable. looking under 250-300 abs would be a plus too

any suggestions on brands, or actual models?

thanks in advanced guys!

 

Well, I'm not a fan of harbor freight but.... They have a basic scanner with live data and abs for around $100.00 like I said not a fan, but u get the basics with it.....of course there are much better, but I doubt u have a few thousand to drop on a real good scanner???lol

 

yea hundreds would be better haha, yea im a little leery to consider the one at harbor freight, dont get me wrong i love their hand tools and its where i got my floor jacks, but electronic wise...ehhh haha

 

Well, I bought one earlier this yr. & all is well with it!!!!so far so good!!! Lol was gonna buy an carton but at $250-300 the damn thing doesn't offer really any advantage over the elcheapo.........btw, if u don't like it they will take it back!!!! for 30/90 days??? Can't remember which one

 

GM Tech2 Diagnostic Scan Tool with 32MB Card TIS2000

or spend the extra $20 and get the case.

 

haha i forgot about that warranty, that is true. wonder if the 20% off coupon will work with that, i got like 7 laying around time to go read haha.

as for the gm tech 2, will that work with non gm vehicles?

 

anyone ever deal with Innova? got good ratings on amazon

 

im pretty sure i've narrowed it down between the innova 3130 and 3160

they are both obd 2, live data, abs readers, and are updateable

the differences are, the 3130 has fix assist, which based on what model it picks up via vin reader, it tells you what likely needs to be done

3160 has airbag/srs read and erase.

no model has both. which in your opinion is more valuable, fixassist or airbag/srs read erase

 

airbag/srs for sure...but then I've never used this fix assist either.

 

apparently the airbags/srs is limited , then again the fix assist i feel can put you towards the wrong direction and i could always just ask here on my jimmy if i read a code and am at a dead end lol
