    I just bought Insite and a new PC laptop so I can do my own diagnostics and tweaks and software updates. $100 each time the grease monkey at the truck stop hooks up his computer is too much. I could have bought Insite 10 times by now with what I paid to shops.

    Does anyone here have experience with Insite? I am looking for instructions on using it or where I can find video instructions. I think I need a key generator too to unlock the different levels but I am not sure how that works.

    if you have basic licensie - inside is just a tool to read and clear fault codes, not more.... ouh wiring pics are included.

    So you can see the same codes with dashboard)

    Everything you need to know is in the software, it is pretty good with the help files and what the different options do. Cummins has a good training program too.

    IF you have a chinese knock off, then you bought something that may be missing a bunch of things to do proper tuning of your ECM options.

    If you need a key generator, then you are committing a crime because the keys are for a licensed users <== have to post this.

    Ridgeline hit the nail on the head. The help file is a very good user manual. There will be a lot of parameters, don't change any until you understand what they do. It's all in the help file.
