From time to time I see this product mentioned briefly or a passing inquiry on it. Anyone had experience with the product or can confirm that it does indeed fully support the CAN protocols in our vehicles as the manufacturer indicates.

I've been using it for over a year, with positive results. It totally supports the CAN BUS system but it is made to moniter only, not write. I have reset many codes with it. Feel free to email or PM me if you have any questions about it.

Thx. James I shall. In fact, I was thinking of you when I posted as I recall you were exploring the product.

You sure your talking about http://www.auterraweb.com/, 300C's and a laptop connection?

I say this because the ODB II CAN adaptors they have been selling are NOT compatible with our Chrysle's and they are not Capable of reading Chyrslers enhanced CAN protocols.

I've spent a good deal of time with Dave from Auterra and as of firmware version 3.02 and Dyno-Scan 5.20 they won't work with our 2005-2006 C's. I haven't tried firmware version 3.03 or Dyno Scan 5.21 yet. Even if they did get the basic stuff working they won't set a date to include the enhanced data that would be very useful on our platform.

What sensors/data are you trying to moniter? I can list the ones that the auterra software CAN and DOES moniter if interested. The software I have is 5.0 per the CD.

What exactly wasn't working? Everything? Couldn't get anything to work?

That would be great if you did. If even a majority of these features are available with respect to reading the sensors/data in our car that would be excellent.

Trouble code descriptions in plain English; minimal use of cryptic acronyms or shortened words.

DTC Search application interactively searches thought the DTC descriptions without connecting to a vehicle.

Display the vehicle freeze frame (a list of all sensor values at the time the Check Engine light illuminated).

Demonstration mode allows learning about the software without connecting to a vehicle.

Log live sensor data using the Record/Playback feature. Save data from the race track or a run around the block.

Export recorded data into a spreadsheet such as Microsoft Excel.

Vehicle make, year, date, time, VIN, and an optional text note are stored in the data log files.

Set the playback start position within a recorded file to the beginning, end, or anywhere in between.

Playback progress monitor indicates the file position during playback.

Multi-page graph trace buffer allows scrolling through a large amount of data.

Zoom in/out and pan up/down/right/left on both the x and y-axis's.

Movable graph markers find exact data points within the graph.
