pocket logger.... very cool... pics inside

has anyone ever tried this? there's one 4th gen that i know of using it on this org but that's it. prolly going to take womreverse engineering to get this to work for our 3rd gens since it's pre OBDII.

here is the link:

Except for the fact that I own a Casio BE-300, and not a Palm, I wouldn't mind trying that out.

OBDII ECUs stores a lot more info from sensors and etc.

OBDI (pre '96 cars)

OBDI is not a standard. While most people refer to cars that aren't OBDII as OBDI, there were no specifications set forth as "OBDI". Cars not manufactured to OBDII spec were not required to adhere to any rules as far as the design of ECU communications. Each manufacturer was free to create there own way to 'talk' to the ECU. It is not as simple as having a cable that plugs into the port. You need to know what to 'say' to the ECU and you need to know what the ECU is going to say back. None of this information is public knowledge. Any information that is out there has been reverse engineered, a very time consuming task. Due to this fact, just because we have a "DSM" version that works with an "OBDI" car doesn't mean it's compatible with other OBDI cars. We may or may not develop a logger version for other popular OBDI cars. At this point no immediate plans have been made.


if you think it'll work then go for it..but you might be just tossing $ out the window.

We have tried it on quite a few cars now - pretty incredible and informative!

Neat package - highly recommended for anyone with a '96+ car.
