I heard a person or two on the boards had software and a harness (I guess to go from OBD2 to something like a seriel port on a computer), so that they could hook the maxima up to a laptop and check out misc. things (obviously not to change anything) like timing (amongst other things) as well as using the laptop as a check engine light decoder.

Does anyone know what this is? where to buy it, or any information on it?

thanks for any help

(and I wouldn't know where to start in "search")

 

I would love this.

 

yeah brian from the fast and the furious had it :P

 

But he was driving an ECLIPSE!!!

 

i went with this one there are a few other brands but this one is the best value of all i checked out. check out the site for all that it can monitor. you can also check and clear your check enging light. they have great customer service and quick shipping.

 

I just bought with paypal, question is: where can we find this port of the '96 maximas for you outthere.

 

federal law states it must be within 1m of the steering wheel. most likely, its under your steering wheel towards the door.
