Will I be able to check camshaft deviations, my primary reason to purchase one? I already have a generic OBD2 reader.

Yes you will be able to do that. I do this regularly now and take a screenshot annually just to compare for any changes or fluctuations. This can help diagnose early IMS failures.

This is an awesome scanner and so much more. You can see EVERYTHING live and record it on your notebook for review after a drive. I've used mine to look at cam deviations, reset seat belt and air bag codes. It works really well.
