I see several techstream type bidirectional scanners on Amazon and looking for recommendations on any preferred or conversely any to avoid?

 

LAUNCH Creader Elite... This works. I used to to turn off DRL, adjust my door locks, turned off steering wheel upon ignition turn off and programmed a new key.

 

Would you happen to know if it will report ride height sensor values?

 

You can just get the interface to use with techstream and use the computer.

 

I'm not seeing much for the techstream software outside of what I found on eBay for $500+ which is only good for 1 year. I do have bluetooth and USB OBD2 adapters that I've used on a few cars as well as a couple handheld scanners (innova 5512, foxwell nt630 and a basic reader). Not too confident in the innova 5512 since it failed to do the ABS bleed on my G8 (the foxwell worked fine with that) but I will see what it does with the LS430.

 

You can access a lot of diagnostics, turn single headlights on and off etc. Roll the dice friend, it’s $119

 

When you buy the interface the majority of them comes with the software. Looks like the going price now is around $35. Amazon or ebay has them and if it wasn't legal I don't think they would or could sell it.
