OBDII scaner
Anyone have one? I am looking for some info/suggestions as I'd like to get one someday.
|
What are you looking for? Just to scan for codes? Live sensor data? Do you have access to a laptop?
|
really, not sure as to what I would want, but anything that works good and is worth the money is worth a look. I dont have a laptop but I am getting one soon.
|
Do you have a car in mind, like a car you already own? Or are you looking for a tool that will work with a lot of different cars.
This is the one I have. It allows me to look at sensor data. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00020BM2S/...l_5yhv73ab3s_e There are some out there that just let you look at the code itselt. I would say its for beginners. All it will do is save you a trip to autozone. But its cheap http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...9X2XRD7DBJXADK |
I have the top one. It work for what I need, I can use it in real time as well.

thanks Gorn, I'll prob get the first one. I would like one that works with many cars as I usually dont keep my cars for more than a year (idk why). I also work on family and friends cars here and there. I wouldnt need a "beginners" one as I am used to learning some complex things. I know some PLC and know some of the programming on the newer presses at work, I can figure out the scan tool lol!

These aint no Allen Bradly's :) Figuring out the scanner is pretty easy. Figuring what the sensor should look like and how that effects how the cars run is what takes the time to learn. |
I have a labtop. Is there software that acts as a scanner? I dont use it often usually the gf uses it will im on the computer lol. She will be mad at me taking it away. "i need the labtop for the car hunny!" lol.
