Need OBD2 program again...

With the power outage we had up here my hardrive took a dump and I subsequently lost everything. I was able to find LT1edit on disk but I cant find OBD2 to connect to the car. Do I need the same exact version, IE vin number correct or can I use someone elses?

Just email carputing explaining the situation and they'll send it to you. You will need your version, someone else's won't work.

I just did and they said it would be $50.00 . To tell you the truth Im sick of the hassle and expense of dealing with these guys. You pay out your *** for the OBDII program to begin with and then they want more just to resend one stupid program.

Geez...

I guess I wasn't thinking much when I said it wouldn't work. Their licensing is done in the cable for the OBDII, so a program from someone else should work.

I'd have to agree though about the $50 charge....
