I believe the Cipher will work but the Osiris reflash will not. But I'll confirm soon

If you're simply looking for a good OBDII scanner, then consider OBD Scan from Harrison RD http://www.obdscan.net/ It's far cheaper than Cipher and has the same capabilities except it won't change timing advance 2 degrees like Cipher. I've run the Harrison RD unit since 2000 and it's been great. It's worked on every 1996+ Japanese import I've worked on including Hondas, Toyotas, Nissans, Subarus, and Infinitis.

I don't care much about the timing adjustment but I do care about idle adjustment and capabilities for reading live data like knock detection and timing advance. Do you see any limits ( other than timing adjustment ) that cipher doesn't have? The price is great I have to admit.

almost all OBD2 scan software can give you live data. idle adjustments... no or timing adjustments. that is only cypher i think.

blaztZ is another good software i've seen in the sub $200 range. its specfic to nissan. All software i've seen is sub $200 other then cypher.

I dont know if i want to go with a nissan specfic of a generic type of software. I'm sure this isn't my last car i'll buy so i didn't want to be stuck with useless software. $200 can get me a little extra in specfic nissan or generic everything.

Autoenginuity seems to be something that has HIGHLY peaked my interest. Overall i think i'm going that route since if i get the nissan/infiniti package i can operate some of the AWD stuff on my X sedan.

Cipher worked on my 03 doggy door, car has build date of 12/02. Some features wont work like the BCM features. I was able to ajust idle and check some other stuff out. You wont be able to read any A/F data since 03 dont have the O2 sensor capabilities.

For the moment yes...raising the idle speed is a must for me since I'm gonna be getting poly engine mounts and advancing timing is a nice plus. If I can get another scanner that can do this for less than Cipher then I'd hit it.
