Those options are pretty much what my scanner can do. Admittedly, I don't have the gravity sensor on my computer, but everything else.

So what are the benefits of live feed? Im just trying to see if I should get the 200 dollar one because it does live feed and has a back light. For those that have live feed, how often do you use it?

I constantly have my scangauge 2 monitoring MPH, KR, IAT, and Water Temp.

My Camaro's speedo falls slowly, I need to know whether to shift to 1st or 2nd, the live-feed tells me better than the needle.

I also like to keep an eye on KR so I know if my tunes need help.

I use an AutoXray 6000 scanner but it doesn't support ABS. I think their newer scanner does though.

So i ended up going with the Equus 3150. I really needed ABS support as my light was on and I was sick of randomly replacing parts. Turns out it wasnt the hub like i thought (already replaced both of the fronts.) Its a ground wire that is tripping all the ABS lights. Thanks to the reader I know this now. Backlight is actually more b.a. than I thought it would be. Lots of features and easy to use! Highly recommended!

Does the code reader have an ABS re-learn with it for the TPMS sensors, if you would rotate the wheels?

Chris, if it is for your car, you can do the relearn yourself

Your manual will tell you how, but basically you start the process through the dash, then you let air out of the new front left tire until it beeps, then move to front right, then rear right, then rear left. Once they all beep you are done! Then put them all back to the right psi

Mike, I have only tried this once without it working correct for me. There have been a few members here who have also tried and didn't get it to work correct also? I was just hoping for an easier way to do that....

I also was considering getting this TPMS trigger tool from tirerack?

Really? The only time I had a problem was when one TPMS sensor went bad in my Parents' Monte. But every-time we rotate the tires we do the relearn and it works.
