Default Input on Durametric ODB 2 tool

I am thinking about investing in the durametric ODB2 tool. Any input is appreciated. Aside from engine and transmission diagnostics, I am looking for a good body electrical diagnostics, such as alarm system etc. I may bite the bullet today, let me know.

I have one. It will do all that you are looking for in your note.
You can turn on all of the warning lights on the dash, raise and lower the spoiler, test the alarm (i believe) as well as all of the engine& emission control diagnostics.

I really like my Durametric. It has saved twice its value in diagnostics...

this is a great tool.... I wish durametric would build a handheld model. They would make a killing if they did...
