Is it worth a subscription?

I bought a subscripton for my wife's Kia Sedona (please, no jokes) on
Alldata only because Kia's Tech site suddenly requires a subscripton after
being free for years. The info there is quite limited and what
illustrations they do have suck @$$. May be different for a GM product,
though.

I half suspected that. mycarstats.com lists more TSB's that the free
Alldata, but they only list titles like the free Alldata. I did not know if
an Alldata subscription would give fuller coverage, but it sounds like not.

Any other alternatives out there that I have missed?

Looks like All-Data adds info as it is requested thru their professional
channels. Data on my 2002 GMC Envoy and wifes 2000 Miata is very limited. If
you're looking for GM info, your better off buying a Si2000 CD set from
eBay.

Save your money on All-Data

What are you referring to? The only thing I could find on eBay with
Si2000 or "Si 2000" in the name was some sort of Mazda.

Thanks.

The GM Service Manual system is referred to as SI2000.

This is a link to an auction for a set:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7971486597&ca
tegory=6762

If the link doesn't work, search for "GM CD" on ebay and you'll find them.
