Any of the local 100 guys have the techstream cable and software? Recommend it, or not worth it?
Thanks.

I have it. Use it on every vehicle I own except the 80. It is very cool to be able to control/modify the settings yourself rather than going to the dealer who will charge at least $50 for a change that takes 5-minutes of their time. You can also get error codes, etc. Not sure how many control features there are on a 100, but I recommend it because I like to fiddle with things.

Where did you pick it up? I'm considering getting it as I like to tinker too!!
You can buy from China using eBay.
I purchased the Tractrix Open Port and found the software online.
I will pm you with sources for the program. You will need a WinXP32 laptop for the software to run.

You just can't leave that beauty alone, can you,,,......
I bet your doing fire modeling with it too
Of course!!! Had to write it off as an expense...
What kind of things can you control or modify with it?
The newer the vehicle, the more you can do with it. However, on a new vehicle you would likely only use it to set the programmable features. These include things like setting the remote to opening the windows or sunroof, turning off seatbelt buzzers, setting delays/timing on interior lights, turning off the annoying auto door lock when moving feature, etc...
You can also get Live data for all sensors for all ECUs. There are hundreds of sensors on new cars. You can also get error codes and can program/re-map the ECU if you are into the tuner-thing.
