First one would certainly do engine codes, the second one looks dodgy and does not mention CAN interface.

Thanks for that Mark, the second one is not CAN compatible.

I'm torn at the minute, the first one looks like a nice thing but I would want it to reset service and airbag lights and I'm not sure if it does transmission, climate control, central locking, alarm codes etc?

Really I would like to view stored errors codes for trans, climate, alarm, engine etc etc, reset airbag, service and EMS lights and view real time sensor feedback but most suppliers seem quite sketchy - I've just email www.talktomycar.co.uk.

I've been searching around and saw your posts on the cheapo tech2 with Hungarian software plus the ELM interfaces - what did you end up using (I guess a GM tech2 lucky bugga  :y)

Any ideas on what gets reset if you dont press the brake pedal? Coz i dont press the brake pedal on my veccyc to reset service indicator......but it comes back on after usually between 1k - 3k miles....i was thinking something had gone iffy and dont bother to reset it anymore.

I'll try the brake pedal as well to see if it makes a difference.

Have seen this one on eBay, is CAN, what do you think?

Would be good to be able to reprogramme but I guess you only get these features with 'proper tools' like tech2?
All low cost generic readers can only do engine, so depends what you want to do...

Hi mate, just got an email from Mark at Talk-To-My-Car advising of a new product called "My Naff Code Reader" which works for most Opel/Vx cards (inc CAN-BUS) and reads codes for engine, Automatic Transmission, ABS, Airbag, Engine Cooling module, Instrument Cluster, Electronic Climate Control, Body Control Unit etc etc

It apparently also does key reprogramming, output tests etc

Do you know anything about "My Naff Code Reader", price is good and am in discussions about one at the minute...?

Hi mate, I've had quite a few PM's from other users wanting to know more so I have asked Mike about group rates

Some more pleasing info!!

Covers almost all Opel cars, even new cars
With CAN- BUS based diagnostic, such as Vectra-C, Astra-H, Zafira-B.

The unit will report the fault state and feedback of the activated output. This will helps you to find the failed components more easily.
With "My Naff Code Reader", you can map keys to the immobiliser, and remote keys to the central door locking, you can also reset, and program the following immobiliser related items: ECM, BCM, IPC (you will need the vehicle security code, which can be found on the CAR-PASS)

You can also reset, and program the Service interval reminder on Astra-G, Zafira, Corsa-C, Meriva

You can code SAB6, and SAB8 airbags with the software.

The diagnostic interface is USB port based, so there will be NO COMPATIBILITY ISSUES, with serial to USB converters.

The program lets you to read out and clear fault codes, shows you live data, lets you to perform output test, and supports remote, and key programming.

Since Opel uses many pin in the OBD connector, the diagnostic interface works as a multiplexer, and selects the appropriate pin for communication.
PIN3, PIN7, PIN8, PIN12 = Serial Link (ISO9141, KW81, KW82, KWP2000)

Fault codes will be shown with all available information:
Full fault code text description
Full status information (Present, Not present, Intermittent)

You can print out, save, or copy the fault codes to any other application.
From the fault codes window, you can go directly to the measuring blocks window.

The program shows you measuring block information on many control module, you can choose anything from the list on your own. The program is capable of showing 8 measuring block parameter simultaneously. The sample rate is depends mostly on the communication protocol. For example, older system, like Omega-B X 25 DT Engine (ISO-9141-2) can be very slow, during communication, while newer Multec, or Bosch units are faster (using KWP-2000) , and the newest CAN based control units are very fast!
You can also run output tests on many controllers.
PIN6-PIN14
PIN3-PIN11
PIN1
HSCAN-Dual-wire, High Speed CAN- BUS, 500 kbps
MSCAN-Dual-wire, Medium Speed CAN- BUS, 95 kbps
SWCAN-Single-wire, Low Speed CAN- BUS, 33. 3 kbps

Current price is £200, will see if I can get it down....
