  • New Scan Tool KTS 340
    The new KTS 340 scan tool will be released soon, a scan tool and a meter, no other concrete details available yet.

    GM and Bosch have identified a USB to Serial adapter that is a high speed serial cable that supports 230 Kbps and will not corrupt the downloads from AC Delco.  It is the Model# USA-19HS High-Speed USB Serial Adapter from Keyspan.
