Doesn't say it'll do anything other than CAN in which case it won't work on an Omega.

TBH, it probably doesn't have much more functionality than a software solution that costs 1/10th as much. You pay a lot for having it stand-alone. Handy for garage work where you don't have to faff about with Windoze and fragile laptops I guess.

I've actually been thinking of getting an ELM based code reader and I notice these guys do one. Anybody else had any experience with them? I realise it won't talk to pre-DBW cars.

Could well be. Obviously the consequences of such a system going bezerk are not good so they have two sensors each to measure both the throttle position and the accelerator pedal position and if any of them go out of kilter they go into a limp-home mode where it just gives you a fast idle.

Could also be a traction control system with duff wheels sensors, if it has such a thing.
