You can get whichever one you want. The discount is good for all the OBD Readers.

Id just go for the 3 in one deal. Think of it like this. If you ever get another car you can use it for that. You can also help friends out with foreign cars (if you associate with "those" types) when they have problems. Its a catch all for pretty much any and every application you could ever want.
Thats what Im going for at least. If my [censored] credit card ever clears my goddamned checks I sent them last week.
Youd think theyed cash the checks as soon as they got them. Pricks. If they dont get cleared before the 30th Im totally [censored] outta this group buy. Rat bastards. The whole lot of them!

It has already arrived to Madrid.
The PVWM-ISO code reader.
It seems to work right. Now I just only need to repair those missfires the tool is reporting.
Thank you guys for the GB.

Recieved mine today. So far I like it. Cleared the code I had and fixed the problem. Just out of curiosity anyone know how to monitor or what the fuel pressure sensor is called. Really would like to monitor that.

Do we have a fuel pressure sensor? I thought you had to attach one to the fuel rail.

There is already one on the fuel rail, it is how the pump knows to send more fuel. When I tell the comptuer to pull up all possible data it list fuel rail pressure, but when i tell it to get teh data it says it is unable to get it. Same thing with a few other sensors. Oh well guess i will have to play around some more. So far i have found that my car has misfired 54,000 times since hte last reset (most likely do to the surging fuel pump). Will have to give it a good long drive tomarrow so the computer csan run all it's tests.

First, thanks to Rick for setting this up, and kudos to Alex for shipping so rapidly.
Now, on to questions and quibbles - is it just me, or is the documentation a little light and hard to use? I couldn't get it to work at all with my first laptop (again, though, thanks Alex for the support help), and I can't seem to get it to run some of the tests. Finally, pure ignorance question: I went to the test page, ran the tests, and got a few failures. How do we interpret these? I don't see anything like the trouble code list in the FAQ for these failures. If there's just a link or something from the program, I'm purely missing it. Any hint or help welcome.

Ditto on the failures. Says my cat is over the limit, states 821:1, with limit of 321:1. Any one know what that means?

I e-mailed Alex and this is what he told me:
"The Tricom has better case design with interface unit built in to car connector.
Good for every day shop use

OK; I think I still need a better explanation of the Tricom vs. the standard 3 combo. Does anyone have the Tricom? Is it worth the extra $14? I gotta get the triple combo anyways (the lady has a Camry) and figure this as an investment.
Thanks,
