X Prog-M and UPA seem to be the 2 popular ones they use here. I am waiting for my UPA to arrive, hope its as good as i have heard it is.

i use clone upa and clone xprog-m, both work brilliantly. UPA is better for 8 leg eeproms, as it reads and verifys without problem first time every time, on eeproms i find xprog-m moaning about "bad contacts" all the time.
But for mcu,s i find myself going for the xprog-m , because if mcu has security most of time xprog-m can by-pass it.You need every tool in the book, to do this auto locksmith job.

For Immobiliser the all round favourit would be the Omega MTRK & Orange.
They offer various packages, build your own to suit yourself.
Scorpio-LK
You'll find however with all things, one reader is never enough!!
Seeprog is also excellent for EEprom

I have andromeda research. It will read a 93 chips in circuit. I also used it on several hc05 . They have good support too.

I have a true usb based on the pickit 2 but with dil sockets also on board,easy install etc and only cpl of jumpers on board,so kept simple.
Waiting to remove 93a66 eeprom from before i comment on how good ir works as i will sub this eeprom with 93c66 if its ok to do that.
Tried a "clip" but no luck,so need to remove eeprom and ordered a soic/sop 8 to dil adapter 150 mil for reading/writing on dil socket on board.
My car ( toyota iq ) is not listed in tachopro calc etc,so if i manage to read orig dump and post here will someone know what to change to correct the odometer?
thx in advance
