THINKCAR Thinkdiag for Honda review:

I think THINKCAR Thinkdiag is a great idea to be able to buy s/w for your car and pay a lot less than where you are forced to buy s/w for 100 cars/makes in one product at a very high price. It is a novel idea in favor of DIY. I needed a tool to de-activate the immobilizer after changing our a controller on my car. It involved re-programming an eeprom on the controller. The ThinkCar/ThinkDiag did just that. What I paid for the dongle plus the s/w for Honda/Acura only would have been more or less the same as what I had to paid a mechanic to do the re-programming. I am very happy with the product.
