Does anyone have any recomendations on a brand and source for a Generic Scan Tool/CONSULT equivolent for diagnostic testing?

 

Ask TimW. He has the ODB2 software thingy-ma-jig.

 

I've been checking these guys out:

www.baumtools.com

Pretty pricey, but they have one that runs on my Palm Pilot so I don't have to lug around a laptop while cruising.

 

http://www.obd-2.com/ I've never tried it for myself, but it looks good. I might be getting one soon. I can get them up to 40% off in a group buy. PM me for details.

 

That's the address I was looking for. Thanks.

 

Hey guys just out of curiousity on the odbii thing it says,

"Design your own virtual dashboard instruments."

does this mean for your trip computer you can like put AdamK's Max or somethin or make the guages strobe... (can we all say rice rocket)....no but seriously can u change stuff on it?

 

basically, you query the ECU for a 'data stream', then you map that to a guage. kid's stuff. this thing is super easy to use and so inexpensive. Although I need a FSM to know exactly what spec is on everything

here's some screen caps off my laptop and the max.

 

Is that pirated software installed on your computer?

 

Photoshop has been bleeding me for years... since v2.50... $99 here and $199 there...

 

TimW:

So theoretically YOU can make my odometer say Adam's Maxima or like 2000 Maxima SE? DUDE! Thats phat where are you located!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I would check your profile but the org is slow as hell)

 

Some of you requested that I post information about ordering obd 2 scanners at a discount. The discount is through a group buy at www.tauruscarclub.com. If you go there, it is the first article on the page. This discount is open to anyone, thus, you don't have to be a tcca member. The link to the forum is the wrong link and hasn't been updated, so use this link http://www.tauruscarclub.com/phpBB/v...107&forum=4&24
. Unfortunatly, the discount for the indo 3 and tricom has gone down to 30%. I believe the rest is still 40%. My handle on that board is SE 2 SHOSE. Lemme know if anyone wants any more info.
