Just found this one going for $90 US, after reading another thread which recommended them, what do you think would it be ok in my 99 Camaro ?

Work's great if you are pulling codes & erasing them. I wish, though
that when I bought it I had of gone a step further to a CP9145 or CP9150 as the CP9175 will not give live sensor data - I.E. as you drive down the road.

If new, $ 90 bux seems cheap - I think I paid around $ 170.00 at Auto Zone a year or two ago.

Damn I thought I jumped in too quick, there is a CP9145 at $63 Dollars but it has 1 Day to go on eBay. O well can not bitch about it as I could not get one over here (Australia) for this car, and if I had not seen a thread on them on CamaroZ28.com I would still be scratching my head.
Now waiting for it to come from the States, Thanks will let you all know how it works out for me.
