Default Autotap question

What's the difference between the new Red Autotap units (ATU= USB or ATS=serial) or the older black Autotap AT1 devices.

It seems you can upgrade the software online so you should have pretty much the same capabilities between the two set-ups?

Appreciate any advice on this.

Older ones can be bought used for $60-$75, where the newer ones seems to be $150 used or new for $200.

Brent.

I don't think the black boxes support "CAN", where the red boxes do. From my personal experiance, unless you're on a tight budget, I'd look in to somebody else's product. Buy a used HP Tuner or EFI Live setup and use it as a scanner, (you don't even need any credits to scan) they does more, and work better.

Probably good advice. I'm looking to do mostly scanning, but fan temp adjustment and possible tire size adjustment would be great too.
