What's your view on it? Good, bad, ok? Have been meaning to get myself a scanner since my last one went faulty.

Programming these scanners can be a bit of an effort sometimes, but luckily a guy called Rob has written one of the best tools for this purpose and its FREE !!

go to http://www.bctool.org/ (http://www.bctool.org/) to get it ( you will need a data cable to your PC )
