Looking at a Snap On MT 2500 scanner,got a question.
 

Any pro-cons on one of these scanners?

Used one many times, though outdated by today's standards I always found it to be a very solid scanner and the prices are very good on them now. I would think the only down side is current support if the fail. I got a used OTC Genisys Evo 5.0 a few years back and love it.

My brother has a Mac and Matco brand and both machines are very proficient at diagnostic data, and cover other specific areas such as airbags and hvac.

The only problem is with the Mac and I'm certain would be the same for Snap On and Matco is this.

The Mac only has been updated to 2005 model years and requires special cartridges for some foreigns that are very expensive. To update to current software model 2014 would require an updated processor which exceeds the cost of a brand new machine.

The Matco requires a yearly contract at around $250 per year.

Could this take the place of a Tech 1?

This has me wondering what the best scanner is to buy for our cars. I have a 2003 Jeep that I would like to be able to scan and maybe do some advanced functions like activate the ABS solenoids to properly bleed the brakes.

Bumping an older post, what is all required for the MT2500 to be able to scan for codes?

My service suspension light is on and I would like to find out why. Also I may have an IAC issue that would like to use the scanner to see if I can troubleshoot that.

Would this have all the proper stuff? I don't see an OBD 1 cable.

:happy1:If I may "pile on" here, I too aquired an MT 2500, sans modules, etc to scan our OBD-I 90 and 91 Zs. So, if someone can shed some light on it too...:thumbsup:

This is interesting. Due to my brother`s passing a few months ago, i`ve inherited a Snap On MT 2500. Was bought in 2000. He owned a 91 Vette. I`ve just went a got it out of its case. On the end of the ALDL connector theres a module with the number MT 2500-10. The module has a lead plugged into it and the other end has alligator clips to connect to a 12v power source??? Guess i need to start reading in that 7-8 inch pile of books with it.
