Actron cp9185 code scanner
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ok so ive been in the market for a good code reader to use on my envoy and f250 and whatever else i might need to work on. ive been toying with the blue tooth type with a laptop or a small basic handheld. i want one that will read codes, clear codes, display live data such as coolant temp, tranny temp and all the pertinant stuff.
i havent decided on one yet but for christmas my dad goes and drops a load on a actron cp9185 and wants me to learn how to use it to work on our stuff, but i am getting mixed reveiws online about drivers not avail and a few other issues.
i also used it a little bit today and found that its displaying alot of diff stuff that i dont quite understand and the user manual is no help at all.
my questions is ...
has anyone had experience with this unit
is there a better one for less money that does what i need
should i try to figure it out or try to convince my dad he spent more money than he should have and return it for a diff one
thanks
