Swift keep up the good work, my moneys on you for finding a result

 

cheers mate i will but i am running out of ideas !! ;-(
i am not a mech or a car auto expert ! i fix pc's haha

i think i am seeing my mate today so fingers crossed we can work on my car again.... .

i am looking how the port connects to the ecu does it go direct or though some thing else ??.

 

Cant see it going through anything on the wiring diag, but tit is complicated. Can e-mail you a copy if you want?

 

if you can mate ;-) to =

kenny@mid-wales-scoobys.com


i have 2 workshop manuals but what i can see is that the obd2 port comes off the ecu.....

i have plugged in the 2 green test connecters & no luck but there is a black connecter there too so i have used what we can see, bllody scoobys mix & match parts/stuff ha-ha
but no luck as yet but the unit works fine in any other make of car boo hoo.

 

Swifty,

Glad to see the little devil works in the VAG cars. Thinking of testing the demon in my sisters LCR. She maybe tempted to buy one too.

Yowsa
Steve

 

Yep would be much appreciated

Paul

 

is there any re mappers who know the obd2 port come forward with your info & help ;-)
or anybody with a subaru service display tool, can i have the tools pin out please !!.

ie, does the obd2 port come staight from the ecu ???
& why is there 5 cables on the obd2 port as you only need 2 for power + &-
& 2 for the signal ( k-line) so what is the 5th for as mine is a - or earth ??.

my head is going with all my daft ideas but i an only get it to connect for about 2 secs still so i still get no read outs...... .

what can be stopping or resetting the display unit ???.

 

I've just had the call from the doris who tells me my golden nugget awaits me!!

All I have to do now is pay the £18.81 HM Customs charge!! WTF!!

So Looks like i'll be toying with it on Friday day unless the misses goes into labour.
Happy days and I hope it bloody works!!!

Steve

 

just had this email back !! ;-(

It sounds like it will probably not work on your car. You may be able to sell it over there, and possibly even make money on it if you have the packaging in good condition. Check the UK eBay and see what they are going for. We have some people in Greece that are selling them I think on your eBay, but I think their price might be high. Or you could possibly sell it to another member of the forum that missed out on the group buy. If you don't want to bother with those, you can send it back to us for a refund of the $149.95 USD.

cr@p ;-(

i am thinking what to do now.......

it powers up ok & connects for about 2 sec than resets...... .

 

Ive emailed linear logic about my missing Scangauge but as yet ive had no reply.....

just goto the above web site as it is there ;-) & it is not phone ring tones trust me..... .

 

Sorry for the delay, emailed to you both.

 

Anyone on here want to sell me their scangauge? I missed the groupbuy

 

Guys,

Got mine yesterday. Not had achance to toy with it yet. So will have a go tomorrow.

It's a lot light than I thought. I also though the inout cable would be on the side not the rear. That put to be the plan I had to mount it.

Has anyone taken snaps yet of it mounted? I'd be interested where you have mounted them.

I'm also going to try it on the misses Sport & my sisters LCR. I'll write up ho they go and if it works ok.

Steve

 

You can use the side or rear connector. I tested mine using the side port and had it laying in the cubby hole in front of the ashtray. Now mounted it with the velcro to the pod above the clock so its easy to read and used the rear port, the cable is then laid between dash and screen hiding it runs across then under A pillar moulding under the sterring column into the socket. The only bit of cable visible is about 15cm which can't be seen when in the drivers seat. Also got my missing screws yesterday so all working fine.

Andy.

 

I'm sure mine only has a input on the scangauge on the rear? Didn't see any visable side input?

I only got one cable (which was the included one). Did you order another cable with yours? Not sure if the cable I have will go they way round the a post and up the back?

I could be very wrong however?

I was thinking of mounting mine infront of the ashtray too or next to the cup holder. Is yours classic or newage Andy?

Steve

 

i might do mate if i can not get it working in my 1998 v4 sti import by monday !!!.


;-)

 

My car is a 2003 WRX and only got the cable the unit comes with. All the pictures on Scangauge site show 2 sockets. Info says cable is 6ft long. It was ideal length for where mine is located, I only had a little bit to lose which I cable tied up to the bunches above the pedals so I don't catch my feet in it.

Andy.

 

I wait ......

 

Andy, could you be a gent please and show a picture of where you mean. I'm confused.

Steve

 

nice one mate, i have used the unit in 2 other cars a audi rs4 & a a4 tdi so i know the unit is ok but not in my car boo hoo

 

Lucky for me What cost you gonna sell it to me for. You know your gonna

 

Hungrytang, not to worry. You will be taken care of if it does not show up. Either by refund or another unit.

 

Thanks guys...
