Very interesting

Did you know that the Chinese are making Counterfeit ScanGauges?
Here is a link to an alert page ScanGauge Plus Counterfeit
Linear Logic is not happy and I support them.
I also found this little acronym that you may get a kick out of.
CRAP (Chinese Replacement Auto Parts)
Credit goes to Ol'Rattler @ Scangauge knockoff! - TDIClub Forums

Ther reason I was searching was to see if someone had come up with a trick
for fast programming the SGII from a computer. No luck YET.

I did find a SGII tidbit
ScanGauge II USB Port

I would give one a try. If and when it ready.

I bought some C.R.A.P. brake parts off ebay, thru a US seller and for another car, that I'm trying to get them to take back because, well, they are crap.

Maybe ebay will need to change their name to: junk from the ROC bay...

Sorry for the rant

What I wished Ebay would do is require the country of origin
be declared on all new items.

AND you rant is ok with me. Ebay or Flebay

Sadly if it is a highly marketable product of anything there is gonna be a cheap counterfeit version made by somebody.

China just happens to be the biggest at this time. Not shure why it is even necessary nearly everything made is built in china now anyways.

I can envision somewhere in China a production line where at some point there is this guy going " Now this one goes to the Americans and this one goes to us and this one goes to the black market." all off the same production line.

This is a REAL thorn in my side because they have pirated my wife's business, it's bad enough that we have it trying to be done here in the US. SCREW NAFTA and bring back American industry !

Scangauge is Chinese parts assembled in Arizona correct? Or 100% Chinese made?

If you older guys recall in the 70's it was Korean steel, the 80's it was Japan, the 90's was Mexico and India and the last decade has been China. I am now also starting to see a lot of imports from Vietnam esp. in the furniture line.

Ironically, i create automated tests for my employer. My tests replaced 8 workers in Bangladesh. Haven't been able to hire another person to help me, not many 'programmers' view testing as too desirable.
The problem with remote workers is the hidden expense in managing them to keep them productive and up to date with changes.
