I think he called me an old diehard gearhead :?

As mentioned, it all depends on how far you are looking to go. Personally, I like to record the data and analyze it. 30 seconds is hardly long enough time for me to look at trims and mph etc.

This is what I use to see all the data on my car.

Having a laptop makes things easier, but I have to drag one of my desktops out next to the car and do it that way.

I don't have a laptop, so I went with the AutoXray EZ-SCAN AX5000 scanner. As is, it does more than I need it to, and can be upgraded over the internet if I ever want to save data and drop it onto my computer

500 bucks?? Your outa your mind! I would rather get the aero- scanguage for less then half of that price!!!!!


I would love to do the laptop stuff but (A) I don't have a laptop and don't forsee getting one soon, and (B) I wouldn't want to have the laptop sitting in/ taking up space in my car all the time so that I could monitor engine stats...


From everything I have seen the scan guage is the way to go... Will probley do it around the end of october.

Whoa.. look around.

Autotap isn't $500

True....the Autotap isn't $500. But he mentioned that he doesn't own a laptop (like many of us) and doesn't plan on getting one soon.

It is all a matter of how much information you really want.....then, what you have at your disposal already, and/or how much you are willing to spend.
