I've been toying with getting one of these scanning tools, however most advertised for sale on eBay such as the link below, state they're suitable for vehicles to 2002 or older. Is there a difference between the 1.4.0 software and the version you have jdstrickland? I have a 2006 4.4, so unsure which one will suit my application.
In regard to the operating system, I've read a thread somewhere (Google it and it'll come up) on how to get the software to run on Windows 7, 64 bit. There's a bit of mucking around though.
I also read about soldering the pins, but unsure what this achieves. Any input/advice, would be appreciated.
