There is not a lot that can connect to Subaru's. Well not handheld devices anyway.
Is that what yours is? USB ones should be OK witht he right software.

That was lucky, only stumbled on this thread.

If you have the yellow Subaru Select monitor socket then you can make a simple cable and use SSM s/w or Evoscan. I'm by no means expert on this but it does seem to work well for logging.

Cable how to

Select Monitor is available here. The site seems to be a bit hit and miss and unless your ECU is already identified you will have to spend some time setting it up.
I prefer to use this. Not free but it is ready to go.

I bought a SSMI to OBDII converter to experiment with RomRaider, but as was previously suspected SSMI and OBDII do not 'speak' the same language so RR AFAIK is not compatible. But like i said, i'm no expert.

HTH.
