This is the weirdest thing. On my way to work this morning I was thinking, like you do, that it would be a good idea to have a review of the various readers along with their capabilities, costs, ease of use and connectivity issues given the reported problems with USB connections.
I was just about to start a new thread and blow me down this appeared.
So, to all those people out there with various readers:
What have you got?
How much did it cost?
Where did you get it from?
What will it do? e.g. read codes, reset airbags, recode keys etc.
How does it connect? e.g. Serial cable or USB
How easy is it to use? Is the interface in English and is it understandable?
Would you recommend it to other owners?
Please add any further information that you think may be of use but, if possible, please try to be objective.
Tech2 is the standard which all of these machines try to emulate and all of them, I guess, come up short but most of us can't afford to spend £000's on a code reader that we will only use once or twice a year with luck.
I await your reviews with bated breath.
