If mark play his cards right PT and Live can absolutely be a good solution now when AP is out.
The idea and function of the software isn't bad, he only needs to sort out the gremlins and make it work as it sopposed to do.

Honestly I just installed it but you can also run the program in compatibility mode (Windows 7 can run just about any software built for previous version of windows). I am also running Windows 7 ultimate. Once you install it just right click on the icon and run as administrator.
Haha, that would get expensive. But heck Walmart has nice little Acer laptop with a 250GB hard drive and 2GB of ram that runs Windows 7 for $298.00 right now as a back to school special.

*Ease with which you can erase the brain on the ECU
*Lack of a way to recover the brain when that happens
*lots of bugs with the software around using the "brick"
*Can't use someone elses brick to even do a log - major PIA swapping the brick back and forth when trying to tune .
*Clumsiness of the whole getting started routine - it is not PNP
*Very hard to sell - because you need Mark to get involved in that process.
*Can't permanently delete cels
Get most of this resolved and it could be a great product .....

tubing: I have an AP, and both versions of the Scanalyzer. I like to be thorough.
I'm just upset that one of my versions doesn't work and doesn't appear to be getting fixed any time soon.

I just got the AP as well and I have my Scanguage II I'm not sure what version of the Hymee I have but it works. I am actually going to recheck the DTC function tonight to make sure.

leave your gas cap on and fire up the car to throw a CEL.
I have the old serial port version and the new USB.
how does yours connect? You probably have the newer usb if you bought it in the last year or so.

I bought it second hand, it comes with the brick, and a serial cable that connects to a Belkin USB adapter. I will let you know what the software version is when I get home.

aww crap, you have the older version.
I already have the software for that, I'm trying to find the newer software for the usb version.
a forum member emailed me a file a while back, maybe I'll go digging through my email and see if that works for me.
The USB version is a little faster, has a few more tricks up it's sleeve and when you get the Pro Tuner software, then you can tune your car with it.
problem is all the issues that Brettus pointed out above.
The good news for you though is you can pull / clear CEL's because you're runnin' old reliable serial bus version.
