Anyone know about car diagnostic scanners?
by AlbertSiegel » Tue May 17, 2011 8:22 am
My father is asking me to check out if there are any good car scanners here that I can send him. He currently uses an Autoboss, but the company was bought out by a Chinese firm and they no longer provide updates. He needs one that can diagnose and reset German, Japanese and American cars. Anyone know about these things and have any suggestions?

For maybe anything from the VAG group (might go from Seat to Bentley, with VW, Audi, Lambo and Skoda in the middle) VAG-com seems to have quite a good reputation from enthusiast (masochists in my book) groups...
Now... you'r asking quite a lot...
Euro cars use the Euro OBDII language... Japanese cars some sort of incompatible J-OBD (nissan is a real bitch for this). And the amerikun... they have computers in their cars ? I thought they'd try to get rid of leaf sprung dead rear axle first...
More seriously, judging by the price of autoboss, except Doricar (maybe) that question seems WAY over our knowledge... This link might have more product of his interest:

Hey. leave my leaf springs alone.
If you are in the Osaka area, go to Den Den and parallel to the street Den Den is on there is another street, I wanna say its like Matsuyasuji, but I could just be thinking of gyudon.... in anycase, if your japanese is good there should be someone there that can help you. The street is like den den but for like (mostly motorcycles) but i remember there being some car shops there too i think.
None of this probably helps you but I already typed it.
