		Dont buy launch products is my advice, Autel make some nice and reasonably affordable gear that works well. I use my Md802 scanner more than my laptop delphi diagnosticcs

		Use a genuine Delphi system and I really like it, although a bit unhandy having the laptop but ok other than that. Hard to beat dealer level system if your working at a particular brand of vehicle alot, like vcds, vaux com etc.
