Op-Com or Tech2

[lee_hdi]

Hi,
Which of these would you recommend is better?

Op-Com or Tech 2?

Does one have more features than the other?

This will be the first opel/vaux software and hardware I will have got.

Thanks,
Lee

Of course the Tech-2 is better, it's the dealer tool. But it's also a lot more expensive.
For normal diagnostics Op-com will do fine.

How come Tech 2 is cheaper than op-com tho?

That is not a Tech 2, that why

Tech 2 is the name for the genuine dealer tool, the link you posted is for an aftermarket version using the dealer name to help sales, do not be fooled, for Opel/Vauxhall vehicles the only things you should ever consider is:

Tech2 (Genuine Dealer Tool) clones around 1200 genuine around 2750+
Op-Com/Vaux-Com the ONLY aftermarket tool worth considering IMHO does about 90% of what genuine tool does maybe more and does things the genuine tool can't do, genuine version around 650-700 free updates and full support, clones are about 30-100 using older software.

HTH

ahhhh, it did get me confused lol

I'll get the Op-Com. Not paying that for Tech 2, thought PP and Lexia cost me enough

[C64]

Will op-com pair a new key to my vehicle?

My wife is always loosing keys.

[lee_hdi]

Yeah you can code keys with op-com. You need the carPASS code though

Normally a blue card, if not its about ?20 from Vauxhaull/opel

[C64]

Cheers mate, I keep my car-pass in the glove compartment, is that the 4 digit code?

You wouldn't know where I can download a tutorial would you?

You can save live data do file.css and then use excell or so to make graphs.

Personally I use OP-COM and it is very good tool.
