Myself and iggy21UK both have one of these tools and I have to say that they are far more advanced than the cheapo techII devices on ebay. The software is in constant development and is being updated to support new cars as they are launched, it will also suppport most GM brand vehicles such as Saabs and Daewo's.

The software can do various actuator tests, produce graphs from sensor outputs and much more. I appreciate that they do cost a fair amount of money but I figured that with the amount of Vauxhalls that friends and family have it actually works out good value - as long as you can make enough use of it.

It will not do software upgrades to systems on the car such as Autobox etc and obviously it isn't the same class of device as a Real Tech II but in my opinion it is the next best thing.

Interesting...

Can it watch the fuel trim values? Might be useful for tuning LPG conversions too :y

Thanks for making us aware of this product...  perhaps if advertised in the For Sale section, club  / forum members could get a small discount!!

Just a thought

Fuel trim values are listed from the MV6 ECU, so yes you would be able to read them off your car using this tool.
