Automotive diagnostic software scanner tool?
So my old scan tool is pretty much obsolete and the company wont pay for a new one because we only have a few ford and chevy vehicles. We have mostly the stuff for cummins and international engines. I was thinking of dumping some cash on a basic OBD2 scanner but then I came across this on ebay . http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...RK%3AMEWNX%3AIT
A wireless bluetooth setup with free software for my laptop for a fraction of the cost of a scan tool? Am I dreaming? Anybody ever used anything like this?

I was looking into those . What I would like to do is the injector disable test but I dont think that software is available through anyone but the ford program?
I can do an injector buzz test and also a cylinder contribution test but I can't individually shut off injectors as far as I know.
Here is a fellow who says he can shut off each injector with his AutoEnginuity on his Cummins. Also there are a couple of other OBD2 tools they say do that. http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/3rd-gen-...can-tool-2.html

I can control each injector on/off do, and watch injector balance rates. To bad it is only for GM but is coming out with some Cummins support.
