dont know if anyone has found obd for usb or not, maybe you're looking and having trouble, or maybe you've found a less expensive unit than me... let me know.

OBDII

88 shipped to us, free software.

or cheaper kits to build your own.

cheaper than having a mech read/erase and error code.

hey i got mine on ebay and even though i havent had to use it yet (knock on wood) it reads the codes and then erases them.....i think it was like 35 bucks shipped or something and I just keep it in my glove box, i dont want the light to come on and its at home and then it goes off right when i pull up to the driveway...........and for the usb thing, im like 99.9% sure they make serial to usb connectors, just go to a best buy or any kind of computer electronic store.......

I carry a Cornwell handheld scanner in my trunk, and my shop just purchased the GenIsys, which is supposed to change parameters also but I'm still learning to use it, it will monitor all parameters, and we will end up purchasing the gm reprogram software later this year.

hmmm, it's funny when someone assumes you know nothing about computers...

oh well, yes, i know you can get a serial adapter, even if i didnt know that from common sense, it says right on the page from the link i posted.

and to the others, 35 is a good deal, if it works. lol i'll have to check it out.

and the whole reprogramming thing is cool, but i'd rather not mess with that right now, i was just looking into data logging via laptop/carputer...

thanks for your input nonetheless.

edit : SORRY IF THIS OFFENDS ANYONE.

jabartram 06-12-2004 06:11 PM

what does the setup actually do? is it just a code reader/eraser or does it do more?
the reason I ask is I paid 150 for my scantool and it reads and clears codes and doesn't give much more info besides some mild monitoring.

If you download the software it will give you a demo of what it does.

FormulaNERD 06-12-2004 11:31 PM

Example (screenshot)

bigd6983 06-12-2004 11:34 PM

listen formula was just hookin you up with some advice, no attitude needed........some people know something about computers some dont.......

FormulaNERD 06-12-2004 11:37 PM

i understand dude, but it talks about the serial adapter on the page that i posted... no harm done

wy3134 06-13-2004 12:21 PM

the screenshot you put a link to formula....is that the basic software that comes with the kit? if so that looks like a heck of a deal!!! (sorry but i have too slow a modem to download things these days)

FormulaNERD 06-13-2004 03:47 PM

yea wy3134, i did the "simulation" seems like you can monitor every value that the PCM monitors, take screen shots, and log data on a laptop.

seems like the very best option for the price, unless you want to risk something on ebay.

Autotap

This looks pretty cool as far al data logging and realt time interface

wy3134 04-29-2005 05:16 PM

interesting find there....working on installing my car pc this weekend and this is the next thing i will be adding to it, so thanks for the additional option to choose from, although $180 might deter me away a bit.

BLK03GXS 05-01-2005 01:00 PM

For anyone wanting to add serious HP the AUTOTAP is a must have.
When i can find a canadian retailer, im grabbing one... lol

wy3134 05-01-2005 01:36 PM

think these are as detailed for dodge cars? if so then i found my first enhancement to the car im buying in 3 years :cool: :grin:

BLK03GXS 05-01-2005 01:48 PM

It will work the same for any car using OBDII

So if your thinking SRT-Something then the awsner is yes haha

wy3134 05-01-2005 01:59 PM

the key is....which srt? i know i about creamed my pants when i saw that one on ebay that is supercharged w/ over 1000 hp for only $45,000

BLK03GXS 05-01-2005 02:52 PM

one of my freinds has a SRT-4 modded to hell, that runs 12's, seeing that car makes it VERRY tempting

wy3134 05-01-2005 02:55 PM

eww forgot about those srt-4's, that srt im talkin about is a red srt-10 viper on ebay.....its immaculate...although nothing beats that blue viper in florida that is runnin 7 second quarter miles (god only knows how much that guy has invested into that machine)

eag182 05-02-2005 01:42 PM

The interface for those is very nice but if I had one I'd make my own program. Wouldn't know where to start though, i.e. how to get the parameters .
