Back a couple years ago when I asked the same question, most of the frequent posters at the time recommended the Haltech, so I went with the E6X. It's a good unit, and I haven't got any complaints so far.



Here's the poll I took if you're interested.

I prefer Haltech, yes.

I think for beginners, the Haltech layout and user interface is one of the easier system to begin with.

It's amazing what a simple search can yeild...Sorry for my newbness



What do the Haltech e6x units run new/used and how much more is it for the notebook hook-up for it?

Looks like SpeedMachine is selling the flying lead kit for $1100. It hooks up to any laptop with a serial port.

I'm running a stock 2nd gen system. I've heard of people running other systems, but I'm certainly not knowledgeable in that area. Anybody?
