I subscribe to the 'free information' which comes out as a mailing every two
weeks or so. There has been some good information in them, not just
marketing from AutoTap.

There is also a tech library.

I was hoping to get a scan tool that would have some ability to cycle
actuators rather than just read values. The autotap is a read only device
and can only reset the DTCs (diagnostic trouble codes). Still it is one of
the better user interfaces I've seen. The tools that can actually reprogram
the controllers are model and year specific, costing thousands.
If you change an intake or exhaust system drastically from stock, make
sure that you can get someone (Saturn) to retune the performance again.

The AutoTap interface to a PDA is rather popular as the PDA can be secured
to the dash panel with a bracket and be used as an extended dashboard.
