While this is true (about Cardaq M with Mega Can) the cost is about the same as having a micropod2. You need to have a Witech script and have the CardaqM w/MegaCan. So to save the $1800 for a pod isn't really worth it that much for the hassle you can save. Also, the new Cardaq 3 should meet the requirements and be an approved device soon for Chrysler R2R software soon.
Nissan is going to change their R2R software wither this month or next. It should do All 1996+ with the consult software including programming which it currently doesn't offer. I'm hopping this works better than Nissan track record of J2534 software. The best part is no CF19 required or Consult 3+ interface. This is one I would gamble on because the OEM tool is crazy money due to the fact it comes with a CF19
