I noticed that there is an Ebay seller with a more expensive ICOM clone that claims to have "real" chips for the critical ones so I might go that route. |
Schumacher is the gold standard for chargers and boosters. Didn't know they did stabilizers/converters. As long as you get one with enough amperage should work great.
I'm not sure on the different clones other than the research I did before purchasing. I read a lot on vxdas.com and obd2sales.com when comparing.
This site has the most info about the different clones though and some very handy tech articles too: Which BMW ICOM Next Clone is the Best? | OBDII365.com Official Blog
