Scan Tool Registry...

Posted: Thu Aug 11, 2005 9:01 am Post subject: Scan Tool Registry...

On other boards that I am a part of, there have been threads that have cataloged everyone with scantools, factory service manuals, etc... I was wondering if there is such a thread here...? I ran a search, but came up empty, but I did see a number of threads for people asking to borrow a scan tool.

We could kind of lump scantools & programmers together. What do you guys think?

Probably want to list your name, town/county, scantool/programmer as well as any extra programming/scanning capabilities it may have...

So each post would look like:
Kyle Swartley
Byron - Genessee County
Autotap USB for OBDII vehicles w/ GM Enhanced Data

maybe add a field to the user profile to allow us to add what tools we are willing to make available to the club.

Well, the registry would be only what you were willing to help other people with. I don't know if I would want to allow someone to borrow my setup (laptop & autotap), but if they live close, they could stop by and we could use it together... That type of thing. These things are EXPENSIVE!

Yes, the profile would be a better way of doing it. Many of the other forums that I am on just have a single sticky that is managed and updated periodically. If you have a scantool and you wouldn't mind helping someone in your area out, you post your information (as I have listed above). People that are looking for some help just have to look in that thread to find someone in their area.

Now I do like the profile thing because that would allow people to run a search for others in their area and see who has the tools required. A VERY good idea!

Excellent idea.

See this thread http://forum.unycgp.com/unycgp/viewtopic.php?t=2649 in the PCM/Tuning section.

I'd like to see something like personal "Garages": http://phpbb.3x00.com/viewtopic.php?t=2
Tools could be added as a block there.

Maybe I could tweak the individual user's "SHOWROOM" to include this feature???
