Ok so I was wrong about them both doing the same thing. I had a feeling that the OBD-2 site had less options then the OBDII site.
That's not what I meant. I think both only do that. Neither can really control anything inside the engine bay. Only thing the auto tap looks to have more than alex pepper's is useability on Palm and easier user interface,, but I'm guessing the price is a good bit more than alex pepper's.

If you go through www.obd-2.com he gave us a while to buy... You could order and he would ship out, and you didn't have to wait for everyone to order. He gave it like a month or so once it started up. It was also a certain % off whatever you wanted,,, everyone didn't have to get the same thing.

On Board Diagnostics. Its the interface by which you can read CELs and pull all kinds of useful information from the car's computer. OBD-II in particular is the second generation of OBD. '95 Contours/Mystiques will have the OBD-I interface, while '96 and beyond will have OBD-II. I would consider it an absolute necessity for anyone willing to do their own diagnostic and repair work. I've personally saved about $100 and saved my parents $40 in two years.
My unit is the tri-mode (PWM=Ford, VPW=GM, ISO=everyone else) and was purchased from Alex Peper at http://www.obd-2.com. The unit went bad after about a year, but it was still under warranty. Alex sent me a replacement that has been working perfectly.

Alright this morning I woke up to a pleasant email from Alex Peper stating the following: Quote:
Quantity group buy discount is 2% per quantity up to 15% off any scan tool mix or match, example 10 is 20% off. 15+ = 30% off = 162 -30% = $113 for 3-combo model, add $4 ship outside USA USD. Can provide special web order link. Will need total list of names and or emails. Can also ship all to you plus ship.
Thank you,
Alex Peper

If we can get at least 10 people to get in on this thats 20% off the list price. It may only be a few bucks but its a few bucks less then what youd normally spend.
You guys now know exactly as much as I do. Unless Im mistaken from the email Im gathering that as long as 10 people wanna order then its 20% off any of their readers. If 3 people want the triple combo and 7 people want just the Ford reader then itll be 20% off. When I get home from work Im gonna shoot them another email asking them to make sure that what Im thinking is correct.
Anyone that can get a hundred bucks together can definetly get in on this. All I need now is a head count of how many orders to put in. Im also gonna have them set up that Web Order Link for us. With that I think that everyone can just put in their own order and wont have to worry about me shafting them.
Ill let this run until April 5th depending on the amount of orders that I get. Maybe if I get a response from the other place I can maybe talk them both down a bit. A little friendly competition never hurt anyone so Ill see if I can get us a better deal. Its a pretty good deal as it stands now. But Ill see if I can get anything better from them just for the hell of it.

That seems like the best bet so far. Unless the other one gives a much better price (in order to do that theyd have to offer half off and I doubt thatll happen at all) then the Alex Peper reader is the one were going with.
