No it wasnt worth it, it is fine for my VF, but I ended up buying a tech 2 and using that on my VZ

Good to know it works for VF.

Guilty as charged your honour !,
I confess, I have an Autel
I also have a Tech2 [Clone] that I am thinking of selling,
Purchased it new as a complete unit with STD accessories,
bought as a collectors item, works perfectly, and still in brand new condition.
Used it probably half a dozen times to Reset a couple codes,
and activate Police Mode on a couple of VY's, then packed it up, [put it in moth balls, only joking]
As I use the Autel usually.
How much are you wanting to sell your tech2 ?

Unsatisfied, I decided to waste even more money, and try out a Tech2 clone. It has only just arrived, and unfortunately, I'm not going to be in a position to try it out for a little while yet, but I found a place where I could buy it with Aus Holden software, using PayPal and at a price that ended up as good as any other I'd come across. Only after ordering did I notice their reviews were pretty terrible (mostly in relation to shipping, etc.), but I had no issues getting mine delivered - surprising considering the current goings-on in Victoria! I guess though, the real test of it is yet to come :)

How'd your Tech 2 turn out?
Are you able to post the link?

Has anyone found a way to make the VXDIAG work to read VT - VZ Body Modules?
My Tech2 has died and that had no dramas reading all modules so i assumed the VXDIAG would do the same but turns out it will only read ECU and Trans modules and reports no Comms with Vehicle for all others.
Would be neat having everything run through the laptop rather than pulling out one of the stand alone tools not to mention the Autel is clunky at the best of times.

Are you running Tech2Win?
