hey guys,
I had a couple of links for the OBD-II connectors (but most of them are on my laptop. which is out in my car right now)
the main one that I was talking to you about was
http://www.obd-2.com/
they have some good info on some of the stuff!
also a rundown of what I found out.
1st.
$122 gets you
Software:
Use Windows 3.1, 95, 98, ME, 2K, XP computer, 386 or higher, optimized for low cost laptops.
Help files and free unlimited online tech support, including vehicle troubleshooting.
Free software upgrades. 32 day money back guarantee. 2 year warranty.
Cable:
Includes protected RS-232 serial interface, OBD-II connector and cable (over 100 feet possible) and a selection of one of 3 possible OBD-2 gateway routers
2nd.
they have a 25% off for competitive upgrade or full time student.
so thatz
122-(122*.25) = $91.5 (if I'm correct) ain't bad for all that you get
3rd.
there are places that have diagrams and a bunch of other stuff that you can build yourself,
but I think that the parts would cost you more if you build it yourself.
the cheapest that I found the OBD-II connector (not even a serial to OBD-II converter. it was just a end plug) was $89 dollars + shipping.
4th.
there is a lot of free software that is free that allows you to do different stuff with your car, you just need cables, I think that this cable should work with all the software.
let me know what you guys think.
(I will try to put up the other links later if I get a chance)
