December 12, 2002. Ottawa, IL -- Diagnose engine problems, monitor engine performance and clear the Check Engine light with the new, Version 2 AutoTap® for Palm software. This software adds many features to the popular AutoTap for Palm V1 software, including graphing, gauges, large displays, color and even more user-configurable screens.

Bringing the features of our best-selling AutoTap for Windows product to the Palm PDA gives us the best user-interface in the industry. Internally, weve also enhanced the structure of the Version 2 software to provide the framework for our future product enhancements," quips Mike Fahrion, AutoTap Product Manager.

AutoTap for Palm Version 2 software continues to support both Generic and Enhanced Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), a feature not found in any other product on the market. DTC definitions are also built-in to the software. With this feature, its possible to diagnose a vehicle without owning expensive factory repair manuals, or other reference books.

A little-known feature of AutoTap for Palm software is its performance. Testing with the new Tungsten PDA proved that AutoTap for Palm has the same logging and update rate as AutoTap for Windows software. Until the Tungsten was released, the Palm processor was a bottleneck to AutoTap performance. With new Palms using high-performance processors, we can really show off the speed of our conversion hardware. AutoTap hardware has always been recognized for its high speed capabilities, but the Palm platform was a performance bottleneck," says Fahrion.

Were proud to offer all the enhancements of our Version 2 Palm software as a free upgrade to existing AutoTap for Palm owners, says Mark Palmer, AutoTap Sales Manager. We appreciate the support our customers have given us and we want our customers to have the best product available."
