Thanks - I am not mechanically inclined but seemed like a good gadget to have for that price. Don't know if it will work on an '09 Vibe or '07 T&C but I can always give it to someone.

[BlueCrush]

Yes, it should work on both.

If I didn't have a couple ScanGauges laying around, I would be in for one... Thanks for sharing, everyone should have a basic OBD-II reader even if they aren't mechanically inclined. Knowledge is power! This is much cheaper than an hour's diag charge at a shop or dealer...

If I could only find one at this price that could pull chassis codes I would be all over it.

WOW, Makes me wish the one I already have was broken!

If only I had one of those that I could plug into my body and give me some diagnostic codes.

I don't think it will give you realtime data. But still a very useful tool and at a great price.

They totally have apps that will give you real-time data. You buy a blue-tooth OBDII plug, you down load the app from the Play Store, sync up, good to go!

I have the Torque App on my Android Smart Phone and an OBD II Bluetooth adapter and both of those cost me around $25 and it's the bees knees! Lots and lots of info, real time data, data logging, and a whole lot more...
