I picked up an omitec omiscan and am trying to figure out what these things do. They appear to have a serial connector on one end for the scanner and an obd2 cable on the other. Any ideas?

The main diagnostic tool is not capable of auto-selecting the OBD lines. This box allows you to manually select the proper communication lines. In other words - a manual hand operated multiplexer.

Even though the exterior case, buttons, and display look the same as the RR tool, I have been told that there is not enough memory to convert it to RR. This is what I have been told. Please inform us otherwise.

Yep, I thought that it might be some sort of break out box. The scanner works fine. I expect that the hardware is used by different manufacturers and the programming is different. I don't buy that OTC or any other hardware mfg will make something unique in small #'s for RR and Bentley.
