Darrell,

My name is John and I just recently read about the Digifant tool. PLease
help me to understand what this is about by answering the following
questions.

        1) Is the digitool and the Digifant tool the same thing ?

        2) You say that a ribbon cable is added to the Digifant control         module
(DCM), what happens to the weather sealing integrity    of the DCM when
this modification is carried out ? Is there a   hole in the DCM case ?

        3) What information is available ? Is the infomation fault codes        or
just test (nominal) values ?

        4) Presently I use a 25 CarTool breakout box in series at the           DCM
multiplug, would the Digifant tool provide a better tap         (or more
infomation)about the DCM operating parameters ?
