Does anybody have their own OBD-II scanner?
I've been researching into these, and there are quite a few options out there. So does anybody have a personal recommendation? I'm wanting a unit that's biased towards providing a screen of dials, an electronic dash, or whatever it's called.
/FWIW I've a Palm, a PocketPC, and will have a laptop / auto-PC in due course, so my options are open/
Is that one of those do-hickeys that plug into car ECU's and you let check fault codes or whatever?
Nice! I have a laptop, could i get one, plug it into the 405, and into my laptop (USB?) then look at all my cars readings and shit? Or is mine too old/shit (1993 1.6i) to have all the right sensors/connections?
Yes, and a lot of other gubbins too, like RPM, coolant temperature, O2 sensor readings . . . about 150 sensors if you have a Ford.
Wow - i replied one minute before you posted :)
Yes, it's probably too old: OBD-II because the standard in 1996.
