A new toy.
I just placed an order for one of these today...

I'm excited for its arrival! (should be here later this week.
I got the GM enhanced version so it will be able to read all GM enhanced codes that regular scanners cannot pick up on. (and you'd normally need a TECH II to retrieve these codes.) Some examples of these codes are chassis codes, airbag, etc. Most scanners just retrieve powertrain codes.

Did you know that your car provides data for hundreds of sensor readings? Just choose which of these parameters you want to see and whether you want to view them in tables or as graphs, meters or gauges. Set your own ranges and alarms and even pick your own colors! Once you've got a screen configuration that works for you, save it with a couple of keystrokes. Save as many different screen configurations as you need... for different vehicles, or perhaps one for major maintenance, one for tuning, one for quick checks at the track. Now you’ve got a powerful tool! For a list of parameters available, click here.

* Quick Troubleshooting – DTC’* can be checked immediately on startup, giving you the critical info you need in the shortest time possible.
* Turn off that pesky Check Engine Light – Did you know something as simple as a loose gas cap can make your trouble light come on? Use the AutoTap scanner to retrieve codes and their descriptions and turn off your Check Engine Light. You can save big bucks by avoiding a trip to the dealer!

That is the one a few here have. I liked many of the features when I had it. Although with my 2000 pick up and the car being a 97, I wanted the ability to run tests. The latest one I have AutoEnginuity can perform case learns and most things possible to test from a Tech II.
IMO AutoEng takes longer to connect to the vehicle.

Because the mods move things as they view them. 95% of the time it'* the perfect move and best for the case. Once in a while, it could be questioned or argued. I applaud them for the daily efforts and clean up of the site.
However from time to time.. something may be misplaced. In this case, we are more talking about the tool than a bonneville.
