I'm shopping around for my Christmas present, saw an MT2500 scanner with a lot of cartridges. What cartridge should I be looking for to scan my RENIX?
Look at this sold listing. Research these, ideally these will set you up so the scanner is not a one trick pony. Wish they had these when I bought my setup 10 years ago.

mt2500vci and mt2500tsi is probably what you need to search for.

Those, VCI and TSI, 1999... will not work on a Renix. Need the older, non programmable ones.
CL seller said:MT 2500 scanner has all Keys, Programmable VCI cartridge updated through 2004 Domestic and Asian has legacy program for OBD1 cars. Many connectors, cables and books.
Thanks guys!
I did some poking around the RENIX Power page on yahoo, came up with cartridge #s "2998 Troubleshooter and 1099 Primary"
The local craigslist ad says:
I am guessing that will get me past the "version 2.2" recommendation. It should also help diagnose my wife's '03 Hyundai.
I have texted the seller, who states: "It lists Jeep 84 to 99." We have confirmed the set does not have the "Jeep-1" adapter. I could spend less money for a base unit and try to build from there, but my gut tells me this purchase might not be so bad.
Anyway, I am still open to input, THANKS!
Slightly OT. With the proper serial cable and Jeep Renix connector later model Snap on scan tools will work. Albeit more money, probably than an MT2500.
We have a snap on 'Solus' at work, that communicates with renix.
I missed the bus with the MT2500 that was advertised. Tell me more about the Solus...
Solus is the newer version. Quite a bit more coin too. Does a lot more for newer cars, but in the end, Renix will only give you data what ever modern scanner you get. Want to work on newer models too, might be worth getting to you.
I have been looking for this thread! I saw a set in the pawn shop yesterday, could not remember what to look at, what to avoid...
