I've got an older car (MY96), so no ODB-II. I have done the Subaru select connector and a laptop though...

Shouldn't be too much trouble.

I wrote a program myself (with help from nkh ). When I can get a few connectors made, I'll put it up for sale in Scoobyshop so everyone who's interested can have a play

It does a similar thing to Deltadash now (including graphing things) and I am working on a fuel consumption indicator (nearly finished!) and on road dyno thing (a bit more difficult to get right )

I got this hardware/software combination

http://www.andywhittaker.com/ecu/obdii_hardware.htm
http://www.auterraweb.com/


and the Palm505 with hotsync cable and null modem adapter, palm does communicate with the interface when in the OBD port as the LED's blink .. but and a big but the palm says no car/interface so I guess it can see the interface ('cause it blinks etc )

Now this interface is supposed to work with VAGCOM (Windows based s/w) but again the LEDS just blink at me ...... I've mailed the site and guess what .... yep you've guessed it they havn't replied to any mails .... so I want some help/advice off someone else who's tried OBD/Palm out ...

I use this one:

It works great has some graphing and is much faster than waiting for the laptop to boot.
