ODB-II readings using a laptop
I was looking at ODB readers at the local autoparts store & was thinking it might be worth looking into ODB software for my laptop. Anybody using a laptop to read/clear ODB codes? ODB-II to USB cable & software? Suggestions?
Thanks

Re: ODB-II readings using a laptop
I've got an ELM327 chip to USB Port on laptop using free software from ScanTool.net works pretty good if all you want is to check and clear codes and already have a laptop on hand!
There's other free software out there, but nothing you can use to completely diagnose and troubleshoot. Software is where the money is... be prepared to spend between $300-1000 or more for good diagnostic software that can read Tranny, ABS and non Generic codes.
