I have owned my 05 Limited Roadster since 2010 and been using this forum for about 9 years and been a member for 7 years. I have been able to fix my X-fire every time I have had a problem with it because of this forum. You guys are great!!!

My crankshaft position sensor went out on me again or maybe it's the Camshaft position sensor that I have not replaced yet not sure which one (I'm replacing both this time) so, It came to me, maybe I might want to invest in a Scanner/Code reader. That brought me to this thread. After reading it...... I had a couple questions.... I originally wanted a scanner/code reader, after reading this thread I learned that they are many out there that do different things. Price is not my concern, but, don't want to waste money.

I learned that some like the Autel DiagLink others iCarSoft MD II. I have seen DBR III, Micropod II emulator, Launch CPR 123, Launch Millennium 90 Pro and others mention 5 years ago on this thread. At first I figured that I would get the Autel DiagLink. I like the idea that I could get buy marque for the X-fire and one for the Chevy Traverse and be able to use it for both vehicles. Then I seen that the it will not communicate with the SRS and wont "bleed the ABS Unit" not the brakes I'm guessing only the Unit??? Not a mechanic... Then I checked out the Launch Millennium 90 Pro and it seemed to do SRS and ABS Unit and Bi-directional communication with the computer. Also can do drive testing with it "plus more".

What my question is which one to get? I need to replace my TPMS in the near future and looks like ill need a tool and the DBR III to learn them or program them???? Can anyone or everyone chime in here. I really don't know what I'm wanting it to do because at first I thought it was only a reader now I find out resetting codes and reading and talking with each other (Bi-directional communication) and programming the Tire sensors TPMS. I'm kinda lost in the aspect on which one to invest in or which ones to invest in.

I recognize many of the names on this post. Meaning I have read many of your post in the past to help me fix my problems and I know you all know the X-fire very good....Pizzaguy, Onehundred80, Padgett and respect your opinions. I do understand you will have different views most likely and that is great. Sorry about the book but wanted to tell you what I WAS thinking and what I'm thinking NOW. All I want is a tool to do the most I can get out of it and not spend $500 but if need be then that is what I will do. I always buy OEM parts for my X-fire, but thinking about not doing that when I replace the top. LOL

I appreciate any and all replies, This is my first post and I hope to figure it out along the way so, bare with me.
