What is a bitwriter and do I need one?

[bigbadbrother]

I just got a Clifford 3105x and was told by the salesman that I need a bitwriter. When I asked him why I needed one all he did was smile and say I needed it. OK so what is a bitwriter why would I need one and what does it do? This might be basic but it would help to know.
Thank You

Would have thought the guy selling to you would have explained it better. I would be tempted to go to someone who will.
