I know there is freeware and cables out there, but I went and ordered a OBD-II scan/reset kit for 23.97 shipped (China) ....looks like people are happy. Looks like it'll work with all 1996+ as it should. Nice tool to have around, get the codes before you go to dealer and be able to monitor parameters and reset CEL etc...can't tune with it but it could be a good tool...I'll post results and links once tested...USB

Yes it indeed works! Comes with Scantools.net monitors a bucnh of real time parameters, and checks and resets codes.

Thanks for responding to your own question. But year theres like 8 different screens of parametrs. Its a nice tool to have and will work on pretty much any make and model 1996 and up.

I really have no reason not to jump on the turnpike and come out huh? I used to live in Hershey (worked at TMI), hell I've been to 2 'vette cons. Throw me a beer, I'll reset your CEL, nice!

Hope you guys checked out the AACA museum while you were out there!
