Default OBDII - MY07

Hi.

I hijacked someone elses' thread so thought I'd make my own. What I'm after from your knowledgable folk, is a direct link to a cable I can use with ECUExplorer. I've hunted and hunted and I fail.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi,
I have a Tactrix Subaru OBDII cable that plugs into the USB port of your computer and works fine with ECU Explorer.
I've sold my Scooby so i'm looking to sell on the cable - £35 inc p+p.
I paid £75 for it 2 years ago and had to import it from the states.
Just send a PM if you're interested, if you're close enough you're more than welcome to try it out first.
Cheers, Andy

I bought one like this. I know it doesn't say it supports Subaru, but OBDII is OBDII. It works on my Impreza using ECU Explorer with no problems. And only £12 delivered

It looks identical, the photo's the same, the description's identical, the wording is the same as the item I bought, but it's from a different seller. The seller I bought mine from is no longer registered on eBay.

Obviously I can't guarantee it will work. I've only used mine for data logging, and it works fine. YMMV.

Got the cable from Andy, converted my EEE PC to run XP, installed ECUExplorer, ECUFlash...plugged it all in, real time data logging.

Thanks all!

Might I suggest this one Chris, Elm327 USB PC CAN ODB-2 ODBII elm scan Diagnose scanner on eBay, also, Diagnostic Tools Equipment, Garage Equipment Tools, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 29-Sep-08 17:49:03 BST) . It list's Subaru in the supported vehicles list for just a few quid more.
