Midway Auto Supply Is Early Provider of New INNOVA(R) CanOBD2(TM) Tool

DALLAS, April 20 -- Midway Auto Supply of Dallas, Texas (Midway) announces the immediate availability of INNOVA's new, feature-rich, CanOBD2 Tool that enables automotive technicians to access critical OBD2 diagnostic data faster and at a fraction of the cost of other onboard diagnostic (OBD) tools. The suggested retail price is $249, but as one of the first providers of this advanced diagnostic instrument, Midway is offering it online (www.midwayautosupply.com ) and in its retail stores for a limited time at the special promotional price of $199.99.

"The INNOVA(R) 3110 CanOBD2 Tool represents a major leap forward in the evolving field of automotive diagnostics," said Martin Levine, Midway's president. "Not only does it have a wide range of features that technicians need to properly identify problems in today's complex automobiles, but its 'plug and play' interface means that it can be used both by ASE certified technicians and by the layperson working weekends on his vehicle in his garage."

The second generation hand-held 3110 CanOBD2 Tool connects to a vehicle's on-board computer and uses software to monitor and detect failures in emissions related systems on all OBD2-compliant 1996 and newer vehicles. If a problem is detected, the OBD computer illuminates the "Check Engine" light and stores the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and Freeze Frame data of the occurrence, which is then captured by the INNOVA tool. It works on all OBD2 protocols including C.A.N. (Controller Area Network), which will be a mandatory feature on vehicles beginning in 2008.
