Bought the APU1 and it is almost the perfect tool. The only complaint I have with it is that is should write 2732 chips too, not just read them. I know, I know, why would I want to do that since I need the 28 pin socket to use the APU1 anyway? Well, I have some friends with basically stock vehicles that I would like to help do MINOR tuning (ie torque converter lock up speed, idle, etc.) by just burning them 2732's out of the vehicle and sending them on their way without having to invest a bunch of time installing new sockets etc. (not my car right). Call me picky but that would just make this the best tool of all time for tuners. Not really even worth mentioning (since this is a review I should though) but the unit crapped out after the first week of use and wouldn't emulate. Craig, being the upstanding guy that he is, checked it out and sent me a new one 2nd day air. On a bang for the buck scale, this is the best investment I have ever made in my truck.
The bottom line: If you want to tune quickly, in REAL TIME, while watching your ALDL data stream, and with the least chip burns possible all with a sleek USB unit that fits in your shirt pocket then pull a few hundred bucks out of the nudee bar fund and just buy the APU1... you'll be glad you did. If you really want to impress your friends (or save your engine) then buy an Ostrich too... once you are tuned the way you want it with the APU1, mount the Ostrich permanently and use the USB connection for quick updates to compensate for crappy fuel (Ala Pemex), towing heavy loads, those weekends in Vegas when it is 115 degrees and you are idling for an hour on the strip... or whatever. I've got a handfull of BIN's for various uses (ie running on Pemex fuel in Mexico, or towing my 15000 pound trailer or high speed playing in the desert) saved on my laptop and I can update my tune for each of my truck's various activities as quick as my laptop will boot up! Thanks Craig... and Mark too.
