I have a couple of GM Tech2 scan tools I use. Autotap scan software used to not be too bad. Have not heard of it for a while.

That's what I have Ed, the autotap. Found a brand new one on a forum and snatched it up, then bought the tuning software. Thought I had everything I needed but when I plugged in the autotap, it only had limited readings. It said I needed to purchase enhanced parameters. I called autotap to see about getting it and they said they don't sell that anymore, sorry.

I have the software installed on a pc somewhere. No cable. Used it to look at customer logs. Have not seen it in years. Didn't know if they were still in business.

Believe what you want is an app calle Torque I remember speed_demon24 mentioning using it. I keep meaning to buy it but neither of my OBD2 equipped vehicles is giving me any trouble so I haven't bothered yet.
I did read up on opinions on the bluetooth doggles and it seems most folks just say buy a cheap one as they work just as well. Apparently there is a HUGE price gap in offerings and the quality is the same people still get DOA ones even when they spend the extra coin.

I have an OBD1 swap in the Caprice

On a side note, my LS1 Trans Am got rearended last night, buckeled the quarter panel in 3 places. If the insurance totals it, ill swap the ls1 into the Camaro, and part out the lt1. Its a shame, that TA was in near mint condition, 102k miles. I have a lot of blood, sweat, and tears in that lt1, but its really frustrating that I can't seem to get it running right. My first build, I think it took about 4 years to get it where it is today, and I'm still not happy with it.
