#102585 - 02/07/2002 07:47 OBD II Interface.... Build it
robricc carpal tunnel Registered: 30/10/2000 Posts: 4931 Loc: New Jersey, USA	There's a pretty good thread going on over at Anandtech on OBD II stuff. This one is a kit you can build yourself for ~$30. It interfaces with your PC. The software is free. This interface looks pretty slick. For $50, it just plugs in and gives you the code on an LED readout. Handy if you already have a list of codes. _________________________ -Rob Riccardelli 80GB 16MB MK2 090000736

I looked into that one already, and it's not $30.00. The $30.00 option is for only a subset of the entire parts list, as far as I can tell. Still, even the complete kit is not a bad option at ~$50-$75, and I've messed with the software in "test" mode and it looks pretty cool. _________________________ Tony Fabris
