Don't rule out the cheapo tech2 lead - it tends to read most Omega systems, though often in Hungarian.  No programming etc, but only £30 from fleabay.....

Hi mate

Does the cheapo do CAN for Vectra C's, not sure it does? Also I cannot see that the Opel AutoScanner supports CAN (which is most important for the new addition)?

No, it does not do CAN.

The new edition of the AutoscannerOpel (OpelScanner) with CAN bus surport will be definitely released this year. The exact date so far I can not tell you.

You need to find a local garage.....which i have....that doesnt mind you 'borrowing' their code reader....which can do CAN bus....and drinking their coffee while you do so  ;D

Seriously tho......i do this....but would be interested in summat that can reprogram keys and systems at a reasonable price......hence why i havent got a EML327 reader yet.....they can with the right software read CAN bus.....but why bother....if it carnt reprogram anything and my local garage has a reader that can do the same.

I live in deliverance country - have to travel about 50miles to reach civilisation....

Right, I spoke to Mike at www.talktomycar.co.uk today, the "My Naff Code Reader" comes with a cd, you can access updates via the web - the vendors seem very active (about 5 updates this year). The "My Naff Code Reader" will do all the codes, live, freeze frame, output/actuation testing (which is a nice feature!) and airbag/Immob programming

Am going to place the order tomorrow and will review how it all goes on this site. Mike also said it comes with a 12month warrenty and can arrange discounts for group buys!!  ;)

Hmm. Just noticed he does PCMCIA serial port cards too. I wonder if they work any better with a cheapo TechII?
