any members own one? If so, where did you get it? i've been looking on ebay for some and i have found some as low as 400$. For 120$/hr programming, i'd rather do it myself.

I know there's a shop in NY that has one for sure. pm member brabusx209amg, I think it was him that posted about a shop in NY. Also, haven't heard too many good things about the one's on ebay....

if you aren't comfortable plugging it up to your car why did you purchase it

I'm fully capable of using a scan tool. I work in this field for a living, so user friendly isnt a big issue to me. Its a matter of spending the $ and was it worth the $ is what i'm trying to find out.
