Well, I dropped off my car today at the stealership to have an allignment done $350....not too bad....but than I wanted to have them clear the airbag light that came on when I took the door panels apart and the guy tells me it will be $199 just to hook it up to the scanner without even clearing the light...so I figured for not much more I can get one of the readily available scanners....so Which on is better way to go and why???

PS> Since this is the first time I acutally got to drive this car on a long stretch of road and I hit 1.1bar I assume the car is flashed (I got it a while ago but needed to do some suspension and body work so I didn't drive it) The question is ....how do I find out which flash/chip I have???
Other than that the car seems stock.

 

I got a Durametric and really satisfied with it. Especially like the "drive links" to do proper troubleshooting. But cannot compare because I never saw the other model...

 

I've used Durametric to clear my airbag light when I install my yellow seat belts. Very easy to use, much better options than going to stealer!

 

Use Durametric. Very satisfied.
I cant answer your second question.

 

I use Durametric. Works great. But I don't know how I check which flash you have. Good luck.

 

I have the Actron CP9145 and it is very easy to use - no problems for the few years I've had it.

 

I used my durametric on the wifes boxster to track down a dislodged cat/bad O2 sensor problem. Good software, no complaints. Far more advanced than the actron code reader I've used (sorry don't remember the model)

 

Durametric is more advanced than the Actron - I agree.

 

How about the Auto Engineuity?

 

I have been told that Auto Enginuity works really well... it even givesd you afr readings.... something most other programs do not...

 

can durametric erase spoiler malfunction light?

 

Anyone try a Speedtech RS-9000 or a Scan Gauge II?

 

I don't recall the Durametric being capable of A/F ratios but I believe it will give a real-time log of lambda. Problem is that it won't sample fequently enough at high RPM to give any meaningful data.

 

When I datalogged using my Durametric it gave A/F ratios...of course Alex was using his laptop and I was just driving.

 

I'm more confused now than I was when I started this thread

Any more info? Who are the vendors that sell these and what are the prices?
