auto-com is dead what sould i buy now?

[anhuka]

hi there,

i have a small garage low incoming of cars but recently have been getting more and recent ones too...
besides other things i had a auto-com that served me good for some time in the multi diagnostic field. but seems that the auto-com is now dead... since i dont own a big garage im looking to buy something little better but still money possible for me and the work i do/have.

so points to be taken

- multi diagnostic tool that cover most possible amount of recent cars and do more then the auto com
- price must be in the range of the auto-com (i had a clone) little more but in the same range
- dont need to be the best since i dont do A LOT but i do SOME so must be reliable
- user friendly is also good im not the only one to use it

besides buying another auto com what better options so i can evolve do i have?

thanks in advance

I think you would be hard pushed to get better than autocom at the price. There is better out there but very expensive. If you want another, drop me a pm, I might be able to help.

What do you mean autocom is dead ?
Software or interface ?
Anyway, both are still alive :)

dead i mean the connector are broke, it makes bad contact, i think is the connector itself that is broke inside

You not giving us enough info m8... The USB socket usually break.... You can easily replace it.

the obdII connector, the one that fit the car, there is a malfunction anywhere there, maybe a broken wire i guess.

i connect it to the car nothing happens
i mess around with the connector position different ranges, making some pressure on the cabl, right and left and lights go on.
after a few seconds lights off.
i guess there is a broken wire inside the connector itself, the obdII, the pins are good i all ready checked that.
the flexible thing that fits the connector obdII to the usb cable i think is there, but is so well protected full of silicone.
anyway i will try to fix it and if there is no such best thing in the same price range if things gone bad i buy another one

just buy another two (just in case the other breaks for a spare) they are dirt cheap. for the money they are unbeatable
