thanks, not good news. i have been reading a little on this clones on mhhauto, some post good news and some bad ones, depending on the vehicle I guess. I have the original advi with ford,chrysler,and a couple of others. the original is a real passthru device also, not the clone. original advi is very expensive for all vehicles and like you said and i have read also many functions don't work as well. just wanted to see mainly if anyone has bought from this ali sites, I hear it has alot of bad reps from members of another site.
