TOAD diagnostic scanner

I briefly looked at that link you posted. Several (well many now) I bought one of those USB ELM based OBD scan tools that included software. I've used it several times to get data my regular standalone OBD II scanner won't pull. It wasn't an expensive unit, maybe $30, but honestly I don't remember. It was likely some knock off.

Mine would pull data, do the graphs and logs, but I can't actuate sensor / solenoids or edit maps like that software claims. I'm very skeptical of those claims. I was impressed with my eBay one for what I paid, but that one is making some pretty wild claims. If you gamble your money let us know how it works.
