I work at a software development company, maybe I can get a programmer to add some things for me.

Yes, I am a huge fan of the Auterra!

The reader will read many manufacturer specific codes but some it won't.
I am not familiar with the B and C codes you are talking about.
I assume they must be ABS, Airbag and transmission codes?

I don't think that even the high end Snap-on scanner can read these.
I bet Galen is right.....it will be big $$$$$ for that capability.

If you have the resources I would love to see you expand on the Auterra and come up with something even better.....or at least an expansion capability. Trouble is I have no idea if they use the same bus, protocol, etc. One thing I vouch for is that Palm code is quite different....I have crashed and burned a few times trying.....quite a learning curve!!! I mean how many of us would like to write to the ECU and modify the fuel maps ourselves.
