I want a full on obd1 and 2 diagnostic computer but I dont want to pay out the ass for a snap on one. Any alternatives? I want to be able to activate sensors via the diagnostic port of various automobiles.

look at the one MAC sells. i was looking at one a few years back and it was a couple grand less and did about everthing the snap-on did and came with free upgrades for 3 years.
with the snap-on you have to pay for EVERY upgrade one at a time and that ended up being big $ on top of more $ for the scanner.
the one MATCO sell is just made by OTC so you should just go direct if you want one from them.seien Sie größer, als Sie erscheinen

Having the solaris scanner updated all the time costs a fortune also. They sell decent ones at advance auto for a good price.

Ok so I guess the mt2500 is kinda obsolete. I have these choices from Snapon (prices New)
Ethos - 1800
Vantage Pro - 2700
Solus - 4000
Modis - 8000
Versus - 9200
From Mac
Mentor - $?
From Matco
Determinator - $?
I would buy these as a used kit only. Does anyone use the mt2500? The cars I need a real scanner/diagnostic tool for are mostly pre 2005.Ma che cazzo state dicendo? :|Comment

MATCO=OTC
MAC
for used stuff check Ebay, craigslist ETC. there are a lot of out of works techs selling off stuff to make bills or retiring. look and you never know what you will find. check with the tool trucks too. they take trade ins when they sell new scan tools, you may just find what you need.seien Sie größer, als Sie erscheinen

I have a OTC genysis and love it.
I might be convinced to part with it, as I rarely use it any longerLast edited by mrsleeve; 07-05-2010, 02:00 PM.The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money. -Alexis de TocquevilleOriginally posted by Fusion

best bang for the buck is the launch x431... they have all kinds of new stuff and you should check them out. We used to have the modis... I hated it. Our mac mentor does everything our modis did. but the launch does everything we need, and when it doesn't there is always the autologic.
their website is terrible, but the tool is fantasticComment
