I know this has come up before on the list, and I've collected some
of the emails and done some research on aftermarket ODBII scanner/readers.
I've always wanted a good system that could do more than just read codes, but
I didn't have a laptop or a desktop in the shop. Also not have a
new enough car
to have ODB II I settled for the Actron ODBII reader.
Well last summer the wife wanted a netbook. So we got her a Toshiba netbook
and use it as a laptop, and to watch some shows streamed from the internet.
So, now I have a couple of cars ('97 Voyager, '06 Scion xB, '12 Mazada Speed3)
that are ODBII compliant and a netbook. I was wondering if anyone would have
any suggestions for an addition to the netbook for a USB ODB scanner /
programmer to allow looking at the various systems on the car, from the ECM,
Xmission computer, ABS, and air bag system.
Some of the systems I was looking at are:
