Got my OBD interface in the mail today! w00t!
Gonna test it out on my laptop tonight/tomorrow. smile.gif

 

WOOT!!! I just placed my order for a Multi-Protocol USB OBD-2 reader. I can't wait to get it.

Does this unit's software support multiple cars? I have a buddy with a software that is JUST for his eclipse and it cannot be used on our car.



Do you know how hard it is to find a good OBD reader to get tuning information. I just wanted to do a checkout on my car. I went to every autoshop around and couldn't find anything I could use. They wanted me to buy a $200 handheld unit. I'm glad for this.

 

I recieved mine today. Looking really good. I don't have a chance to test it right now , cause I'm really sick.

Thanks a lot man.

The software(s) i have included supports all (or most) of the obd protocols that a car is utilizing

Yes, these things are expensive and i only through me, i can give you fellas better pricing and support


Updates:

I have tested/played around with another software (ScanMaster) and it works like a charm. This software will be included with the units on a CD

Here are the actual screenshots off my car during testing: (click to enlarge)

bump.gif for great deals!

 

One bump a day by one person is enough per thread.

 

Bump for customer satisfaction!

These code readers are invaluable tools and at a very good price.. You spend $150 for a USB model here, that does everything the $200-$500 hand-held model at Autozone does, but this one is on the computer. You can also have access to all kinds of information that the hand-held $2-500 models don't, like 1/4th mile times and dyno charts. You can also post your error codes/sensors data online by using screen shots.

Seriously people. Take advantage of this great deal Jay-M is giving us. This tool will not go out of date any time soon, it can be used on yours or your buddy's car or the guy who breaks down outside your house, they're small, lightweight, and come with a lifetime supply of burritos.



Disclaimer: Jay-M, DrivingTibNaked, and ELM units have nothing to do with a lifetime supply of burritos. You can purchase your lifetime supply of burritos at walmart with the money you saved from not going to tuner shops.

 

I found this program that might be of interest to someone who buys an ELM obd-II reader

Hey dtn, thanks for your input, i greatly appreciate it!

based on tanc's thread here... http://www.rdtiburon.com/index.php?showtopic=20585&hl= here are some more additional info about com port settings:

COM Port Settings:

there are two ways to change the com port # of your rs232 or serial port, that i know of... one is windows based and the other is dos..

since, i windows is the least complicated one, here's how it goes:

Go to the Control panel, then to the System Menu, then to the Hardware Tab, hit the Device Manager button, scroll down to Ports (COM & LPT), select Port settings (here you could change your bit rate), then click the Advanced button, and there you go! you can change your com port #'s from here.

Also while your are on this menu.. try leaving "FIFO" selected and Set the recieve and the transmit buffers to lowest setting. Then save your settings


USB Scantool COM Port Settings:

 

After getting everything sorted out, the obd programs and unit runs like a charm.


I'd recommend these to anyone who wants to read every sensor their car has. ;P
