view I\M monitors
view freeze frame data
some limited bi-directional control

A frind of mine was telling me that he picked up a wifi or bluetooth (can't remember which) ODBII unit that allows him to run an app on his smart phone. He said the part that plugged into the car was pretty cheap and he got the app for the phone for next to nothing. I haven't tested this, but wanted to let you know of another option.

All Scanners & Readers
here's a link to a great site. I have bought 2x from this site and am very satisfied with their service and delivery.
autoenginuity is the best laptop based scan tool product on the market. You don't have to buy the entire system; just for your make of car.

tech2, thanks for the info and link.
Frank3, thanks, just the other day I read about the smart phone app. That is too cool.
Y'all have been very helpful.

for example, for every monitor that runs, it will show the numerical result of the test and the specs. It will red light ones that fail and set dtc. It will also yellow light ones that pass but are near fail parameters. This is very helpful when diagnosing no dtc, drivability problems.
