it works great on the meega.. just got it to connect..not that it tells me anything...protokol 2031 and a couple of other bits. but it wont read the codes for some reason.. it reads them fine on the meega. yes mate thats the problem with the hungarians..ha ha .. but its agout 2 digits cheaper than the real software....as i'm now freezing to death i'll have another play tommorow...i think this vectra needs a gallon of petrol and a match..lol
