sti345 07 March 2011 12:03 PM

are they any good....is it worth the cash? thanks

Glowplug 07 March 2011 01:10 PM

Yeah, useful piece of software, especially for my MY93, as SSM and Evoscan are the only 2 compatible for me.:thumb:

Via the OBD?
I asked a question in the electronic forum yesterday, about whether pre-97 have an OBD. Someone told me they do not.

my 96 import has the yellow 9 pin obd port.

Glowplug 07 March 2011 03:06 PM

Yeah, as above. A yellow 9 pin socket near the green and black diag connectors.

I made my own cable, how to here

And you can download SSM from here.;)

joey_turbo 07 March 2011 03:57 PM

So it does have and OBD, but its the yellow 9 PIN one. thanks

The link to make the cable doesn't work.

Glowplug 07 March 2011 04:25 PM

To be correct, No. It has Subaru Select Monitor.
The link works for me

joey_turbo 07 March 2011 04:30 PM

Its on the second link as a OBD-I, and has the same functions. So if you wanted to, could it be converted to an OBD-II socket?
Apologies if thats what you have done, but I still can't get the PDF link working for me, so can't confirm if thats what you mean. I'm on works US servers, maybe its that, will try it later.

See here,
S/w is compatible on SSMI/SSMII/OBDII and Canbus.
You just require the correct cable.

I do have a SSMI to OBD converter, but these are not compatible as SSM and OBD use different language to communicate. I have been through this with some very knowledgeable people, and the SSM cable and SSMI or Evoscan software are the only compatible combination for the pre MY98.

danos14 15 March 2011 08:52 AM
