AutoTap Ungrade

[BobW]

I was visiting Autotap's website today and see that they have an upgrade from the early version 1 hardware to version 2 for $99. Also appears that that gives the Enhanced Windows software.
Are the enhanced features worth the extra $99 ?

Go to the link below and you can check out the list of enhanced parameters; of course not all apply to every vehicle. What I find even more interesting is their news release:

"Ottawa, IL - January 2003 - Allison DOC

BobW..did you do the upgrade? I also have the v1 hardware, and loaded the most recent software today. I seem to get a lot of the enhanced (did'nt check them all) parameters. What I seemed to be missing were the tranmission parameters. Is that what going to v2 hardware will provide? I sure like having the AutoTap around...its pretty handy when you need to scan for an error.

Roegs,

Can you verify if the enhanced parameters you are seeing match this list? I have questioned Joe at Autotap and he says this is a good list for the diesel as they are less restrictive (I assume he means via EPA requirements) than gas. I had expected to see more of the "enhanced pamaters"

Well I could not figure out how to get the parameters I'm seeing copied over so I ended up
typing them into a Word document! Cut and paste did not work. Here's what parameters I'm seeing - I think a total of 56 if I count right. These are all that I can see.
