Next version of my Opel Autoscanner software gets a improved interface.

And a 'Can' version should be available soon?

Couple of screen shots of the new look

Looks very clear and easy to use.

Is this one you've bought, or one you're designing?

It's one I bought -  it's done all  I want saved me beer money.
It's not a Ebay cheapo tech 2. I get software updates via the web.

Hi,

So, is this better than the tech2?

How much does it cost and does it have to be used with a laptop with a serial port?

I don't think anything is better than TechII, after all that's the true diagnostic and test tool for all late 90's onwards Vauxhalls, however, from what i've seen and read I think Opel Scan is the next best thing.

It costs about £280 for the base version IIRC but considering what it can do, the fact it's got lifetime updates and the fact it can perform a lot of the functions on older Vauxhalls as well (Where you would otherwise have to buy a Tech I) then I think it actually works out good value. It really depends on how much you use it TBH, if you've got a Vauxhall then it should pay for itself pretty quick!!!!

The £30 models on eBay are ok for resetting the EML codes but after that they are a bit limited - Some issues may need you to record live data or test various components and this is where the cheaper models don't stand a chance against Opel Scan (i'll stand by to be flamed now!!!!!)

The above is about right.  The best tool for the VX is the genuine Tech 2 . Mine work with usb to serial converter but is not one made Far East. Also works with a PCMCIA Serial card

I've been flirting with buying the Opelscan for a little while now, but just waiting for the CanBus version to come out.

Doea anyone actually have one?

Thanks Iggy, do you have a link to the product somewhere?

...Also works with a PCMCIA Serial card

That's promising, I've actually just bought a PCMCIA to RS232 port adaptor (this one:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260134047813&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:UK:31)
