Woah! I would not mind paying a little more as long as I could get a quality product. I try my best to avoid anything that states it was "MADE IN CHINA".

Yes, the Autophix scanner was made in China. I had no problem with connection (just plug into OBD port) and it works.

You guys might get a kick out of this. I am certainly disappointed. Just went out on my lunch break to a local indy mechanic who I asked if he wouldn't mind clearing my SRS error code. He pulls out a "Snap-On" reader that he tells me cost him over $6,000.00.
He entered my VIN and cleared it not once but three times and my dash error message never went out. He said he was surprised that it came back on his reader after clearing. So does this mean I have real electrical problems with the air bag? Dang it!

Is that on the 2002 ? Might be a faulty DIM like mine www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpyE3yvpbqM

Yes, oragex it is a 2002 model but I just had my DIM re-manufactured. It was my fault to begin with about causing the darn SRS message to come on. I did not pull the battery cables first before removing the DIM from the dashboard.
