So I recently got a new rather awesome laptop and would like to know if there's any software out there I could potentially use with my truck? I'd really like to find something similar to Torque for the android, as I have an iPhone and Apple is stupid.

 

Since you mentioned it, what brand laptop?

I think HeyYou knows of a few software sites, some others might know too.

 

I think there was a thread about this not so very long ago..... a search might turn it up... but, I don't remember the thread title..... I think it was mixed in some other thread....

PCMScan is what I have on my machine, I haven't had the opportunity to try it out though, as I have a desktop, and it's hard to get my truck into the basement....

 

I got a Lenovo E430 that I upgraded a little bit. I'll check out PCMScan. I can imagine it'd be a little hard to get the truck in the basement lol.

I'm just looking for stuff to do with this laptop. It has a really cool finger print scanner, which is awesome but also bad because I will probably forget all my passwords.

 

You're just not trying hard enough!

I just changed from Blackberry to Android. Gonna take a look at Torque app.

PCMScan.....treied demo..not impressed. May have to pay actual money for giggles and grins. Not that I need it with the MTG 2500, but I like toys....aahhh....tools!

 

Holy crap batman, you just reminded me that I have an Android and should try the torque app!

 

What's a MTG 2500 and how do I get one without sacrificing my soul?

 

Check here: MT 2500 and MTG 2500 (G for graphing) are obslolete Snap On computers. Can be found on ebay pretty reasonable. Have to have personality Key 13 and the Domestic cartirdge for your year. I have domestic (Ford, GM, Chysler) through 1999, alng with Troublshooting cartirdge (optional). Best seller there is texassizeddeals out of Houston Tx. They are very knowledgeable and respond to emails daily. They have a e-bay store with mostly Snap On stuff.



I have a couple hundred in mine, with about a dozen different connectors, personality keys, Modules, charger, manuals for Chrysler, GM and Ford and Toyota.

I put this list together (since I almost have too many cars...)
