Hybrid's preferred scan tool? Now that I got it running, I was trying to read some codes with my father's shops Snap on scan tool. I put it in OBDII generic mode, but it says through 98 only. Is there a reason why it will not read through current years if it is OBDII?
Anyway, I was looking at purchasing Autotap with EFILive Pro. What will I get for my $354? Correct me if I am wrong, but I think I get Autotap Hardware (No Software!)and EFILive Pro Software. I also understand that this is a generic GM scanner that will also be able to read and clear codes on my 2001 4.8L Silverado.
And finally, is this the best tool to buy or not?

Re: Hybrid's preferred scan tool? Im also very curious to find out what diagnostic/ programming hardware or software to use. Do you guys recommend a laptop with various software such as autotap anf Ls1edit, or common handheld units like service techs use? What can I use to analyze perforance data and change certain programs, basic stuff I guess.
