Im a car salesman at a used car dealership and we have just purchased a SNAP ON SOLOUS scanner. It is top of the line! It can reflash computers has a built in trouble shooter and everything. You can also access the computer and change things there! So I was wondering could I tune my SS/SC with this Solous?

 

Give it a try bro. Hook it up to the OBDII port and see if it works.

 

hmm but how do i go about tunning it? i dont know what to look at really any advice

 

Best thing to do is go to a dyno shop that is familiar with GM tuning.
They will be able to help. Most dyno shops do GM tuning.

 

Snap On solus, or any OBDII scantool with flash support, will only allow you to flash to a OEM flash..IE, Techauthority for Chy, Tis2Web for GM, or motorcraftservice.com for Ford.

 

That's one heck of a first post! ^^^

 

lol...Well I'm not a tuner, but I DID stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night

I teach automotive diagnostics and am well famalier with scantools and J-2534, J-2534-1.

Thanks,

 

woot. then you need to hang in th hptuners forum and answer questions

 

Well I'm "new" to the tuning world and have never used HpTuners..yet. I recently bought a 2005 cobalt ss S/C for the parts and will be doing a project car with them. So I will be looking to mod this thing slightly...no track racing..just sleeper street stuff.

Not sure how I could benifit Chris or peeps over at HPtuners..but I will join and see what kinda stuff goes on over there.

Thanks,

 

I have that scanner and i can not do anything with 2005 / 2006 cobalts or anything esle that matter in those years because there is no software to support that new of a car to the aftermarket. expect for the scan gauges. Plus you will need the Candi adaptor for gm can communication.

but maybe im wrong. But my scanner doesnt show support for the 2005/2006

 

They just added 2005 coverage recently

Maybe its time for an update then. To bad it cost 500 bucks for them.

 

Yea..******-On has been under alot of scrutnity on their SW updates. Alot of techs are getting fed up. Their are alot fo other options for ScanTools now and good scopes for less $$$
