Re: Wow!
what most dealers use is a tech 2. it is really expensive but its pretty much the best. better than a snap on scanner and you also have to update it which i hear is freaking expensive also.Comment

Re: Wow!
Yep, at my local Pontiac dealership they took this big black bulky handheld to completely reset my SES and ABS INOP codes but they also ran a printout from the handheld what the codes meant. I peeked at the screen and left it to the tech to decipher it.
I would agree technology comes at a price to make life easier for the GM tech to fix and troubleshoot the problem quickly.Black \'96 RS Camaro, 3.8 V6 Series II, M5, Stock 200 HP, 204K miles!

Re: Wow!
yeah but i mean... DAMN! i think its probably so the general public cant troubleshoot thier own cars. the dealerships make a killing off of them too. its like 70 bucks to have it scanned. too bad the tuner kits like HP cant do the stuff that this thing does. i wanna get one cuz a buddy is a tech and i dont know him very well yet so i dont wanna constantly bug him but he was playing with a Tech 2 on my car and the stuff he could figure out without taking anything apart was amazing. but not $5k amazing tho.2000 3.8L Camaro A4 Pewter Y87<br />K&N Filter, SLP Ram Air kit, Eibach Pro Kit, Flowmaster 80 series, Silverstars, NGK plugs and MSD Super Conductor Wires, Electric Water PumpComment

Re: Wow!
Those things are crazy expensive. I used to work at a service station who used Genesis I believe. It was basically a handheld computer that told you everything about your car. That thing was $8k I believe.<b>1996 Camaro Z28 M6 Convertible</b> Not stock (<a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2055334\" target=\"_blank\">Cardomain</a>) <i>(Wrecked, 3/4/06)</i><br /><b>1995 Camaro 3.4L</b> (<a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/ride/602057\" target=\"_blank\">Cardomain</a>) <i>(Sold, 8/05)</i>Comment
