There's one on Ebay right now for $100.00 . I was going to get it, but opted to go with the DiaCom software instead.

This is the one I use. http://www.rinda.com/marine/marine.htm
The one on ebay does not have all the conections for what you are wanting to do. You can have it upgraded though.

DiaCom is by Rinda Tec. . It's a PC software version of the scan tool, but offers more detail. I'm in the Bahamas and there is no import duty on software- I would have to pay 65% duty on the scan tool. I think for basic stuff the scan tool would be better, because you don't have to worry about having your laptop out in the boat.
