Does anyone know if these Techs use the ELM chip ? (or a copy of, probably! )

Don't think so

www.gendan.co.uk  does some software that supports the ELM327 see  site for which

models it covers


Might need VauxCheck


No --- IT DOES NOT WORK WITH OPEL TECH 2 etc

No they dont.....which is actualy a bonus as they ELM does not support access to all the sub functions on the car (its engine only)

Basicaly the Omega (and many other Vx's of this era) use four seperate diag pins and hence why you need the K line multiplexer...

The cheap tech2 has a MAX323 (or generic equivalent) plus a few interface devcies and a counter....

The only benfit an ELM chip actualy offers is it takes care of the real time handshaking and interfacing which simplifies the PC software.....this great benefit is also its biggest limitation...

In reality the cheap tech2 has the ability to offer considerably greater functionality.
