Adam:
with what you have on the first and last entry of your garage list I would think you should consider a Ford VCM.

I use Autoenginuity for generic obd and have the expanded for rover and nissans. For the Porsche I use the durametric. The mustang, I got some generic tool and read the flashes on the CE light.

I was wondering what you guys use to get at all the modules in the car, abs, srs etc ...

I have access to my buddies Snap on Modis and Launch diagun.

I was looking at that but I do have the OBDII USB ST05 version connector and not the Proline. For $100 I can get the ACI (Chinese AG knockoff) with all cars unlocked.
