I'll probably play around with the cable to see if I can get it working better. I checked again for codes and there is none but my check engine light is still on which is freaking me out a bit! Can anyone verify that is normal for the CEL to be on until the drive cycle is completed. It was never on until I reset the readiness monitor instead of the adaptions.

OK, took it for another drive and light went out!
Nice when things work out. I'm still waiting for my opportunity to experience that.

BTW, I also wish I had bought a real ICOM before the chip shortage. They were "only" $400 US before the chip shortage. Now most places are out of stock, or as you mentioned, over 2x the price. Fortunately the clone I purchased has been working great on all my vehicles. Fingers crossed that continues.
