Bought a tech 2 and had my first play around with it yesterday. I'm surprised at how many features are available but disabled from the factory, for example 'hill decent assistance' my biggest gripe with auto's is that there is no engine braking effect that's now changed on my v6! the auto box now changes down gears as I slow and does not drop back to idle making me ride the brakes...result!!!

It was $860 with genuine GMH software, scan tool unlocked to run any software genuine or otherwise, covers all GMH 1992 - 2010. I think it's worth it personally, as we have 2 holdens in the house both older than 5 years so I can expect DTC'S in the future and we'd only have to get 6 between us and its paid for itself

Yeah how much to check what the fault with my air bags is then I will fix it and then get you to reset it. I have asked at several dealerships but they will only do it if they get to fix the issue and no it isnt the clock spring

I've been thinking about this, my local stealer charges $125 (not sure if this is the same at all stealers) for anything on the Tech 2, so I was thinking $50 if you come to me, or $70 and I come to you (Perth metro only, lol)
