Amen in to that! For less than $299 you can own your own scan tool and be armed with more information when you have to take your X to the dealer [emoji106]

Many of the guys here use the Foxwell NT520 - GREAT scanner!
Yes, I really need to. Every time I start looking into what to get though I end up in analysis paralysis..

Want to be able to read codes, and program things like turning off the fog lamps that come on with a turn of the wheel, and other annoying things as well..

ISTA is probably the way I need to go, then I need to get a laptop, been drawn into the world of tablets for portable computing as of late. I may have an old laptop on the shelf somewhere, wonder if it will even boot.. LOL!
