Updated CANScan!!
I was just checking out Dharrison's sight and there is a new RX8 ENHANCED DATA VIEWER comming out that will let you read all(?) 200+ pieces of information you could view from a WDS... even tire pressures and temps
. This is something I've always wished for....
In addition, the "Be The Dealer" program, which will let you flash your car yourself, seems to be comming along nicely.
Seems very promising :p http://www.obdscan.net/

Make sure you get the correct firmware version if you want to wait for the programming capability. It is different than the CanScan USB version. It has a power supply and different pin-outs for the OBD connector. From what I have heard the programming part is still in the early stages. A lot of the PID's are not accessable yet....they are working hard...

Since it is a nonturbo, it would be extremely hard to damage with improper tuning. It is mroe likely that alot of cars would just run a little worse. It's the people that just add forced induction and try to tune it themselves without knowing how that would blow things up.

Am I reading on the site that you need to have access to the ESI site to download the updates?
If so...I don't see a "tuner" opportunity. More like the ability to load the same files the dealer has access to?

Also this has NO digital dashboard like Hymee's - I would wait for the sCANalyzer

yes, but I got the CANScan setup last week and it was coming from Houston so it only took a day
I'm not knocking the Scanalyzer nor do I have any intention to, this thread is about the Harrison R&D CANScan USB with EDV software and I was simply attempting to explain what was important to me personally with regard to my decision
peace
