Has anyone considered this:-

It appears to come with software and clear fault codes.

No....but i did have a look at this

http://www.gendan.co.uk/product_STN327.html

Same thing but lets you read CAN bus cars as well

However from what i can see, the software only read engine codes and not other parts of the car, ie not gearbox or climate etc

Is there a difinative "yes/no" compatability chart for the Omega and ODBI/II?

They guy sells OBDII USB adapters for £15 - yet i am not sure if my '97 2.5 v6 would be compatible, some people say it is, some it isn't...to be truthful most of this confusion has arisen from my readings on 'the other side'...

Your 1997 Omega is NOT OBDII compatible, and cannot be read with a generic OBDII reader.

Would it be worth putting something in the faq about what works with what regarding Tech2 and ODBII etc because I think quite a few of us are unsure what can/can't be used.

Cheers for clearing that one up for me, not that I have any electrical issues anymore (here's hoping) just mechanical now :)

Would it work on a '98 car? I heard around this time (with mini-facelift) they changed to OBDII compatability (plus i realised today that my R-Reg is actually '98 not '97 as i previously thought :-/)

I have a 96CD sat on drive, and my (real) Tech2 can communicate with all onboard systems. Not sure if cheapo one can.  My Tech2 can also talk to many systems (but not all) on Tunnies 94 Elite...
