Default Anyone use TECH II or similair scanners?

I have HPTuners, but need something that goes further. Been looking into PC based stuff like Autotap and AutoEnginuity. I need something that can read and clear BCM codes. Has anyone used either of these softwares? Do they do as much as a dealership GM Tech II?

Thanks!!!

to be able to read and clear BCM codes your going to be looking at an actual Tech2..and that alone. I dont think that even the higher end Matco, Mac, and Snap-on scan tools can read and clear BCM codes...but I do use a tech2 everyday..

You might look at the EASE scanner, its a PC based OEM scan tool. This difference is you can buy it in modules--PCM, BCM, TCM etc. It will do everything a Tech 2 will do with all the modules including loading GM approved PCM changes, and has EFILiive type logging devise, and wireless scanning.

Just letting you know. For the cost of one of those software packages, you could get an EFILive scan only tool and have money left over.

True, but I want software that does more then just GM vehicles. I'd prefer to cover a many makes and models as I can for shop use. I bought HPTuners because a good friend of mine has EFILive. So we work together on different things.
