OBD II software

Tony, are you getting it to do programming to the car, or just to read any codes that pop up? If the latter, Autozone pulls the codes for free..... I'm not even sure what type of programming can be done to these cars....

Welcome back Tony....You've been away a while.

Hi, There is no auto zome where I live, way up here in Alberta. Have an older version of Digimoto but I noticed they changed their interface box to different chip base. So I was hoping to get something else. Not interested in programming, just as general maintenance tool. Anyone tried a Proscan package? Tony

Hi, Been a while. Boy finished school now. Working a consulting civil engineer. Trying to let him learn and take care of his own car now. So I can really retire into country side and hide, LOL.

Tony, have they had their RS's for very long? My son has had his about

2 months. There aren't many RS owners here. Would be interested in any experiences, issues they have had with theirs.... My son's is slightly modded, with an intake and exhaust, as well as strut tower braces and aftermarket 17" wheels. It's a great-looking car....

Hi, We bought them new. Red for girl, Blue for boy. Daughter's one is stock except Iridium plugs and better stereo in dash. Boy's has been mod'd quite a bit. Heavier clutch, 17" rims, both front and rear springs/adjustable struts, sway bars/link, strut tower braces, master cylinder brace, mod'd chip, header and exhaust, Iridium plugs, CAI, etc. Also stereo improvement with powered sub. Dyno test showed ~190 Hp. Handling is excellent. Both cars have been reliable but they both had rear wheel bearing going once(only one side) Was getting very noisy.

Hi, Oh, also we installed FTI, short shifter kit. Tony

Do you have one of his units? What's your experience with it and how's the documentation?

I use PCMScan from Palmer Performance Engineering. It can use a variety of interfaces and has a scripting interface if you are ambitious enough to program your own PIDs. Works well for me and it costs $100 US.
