I was just cruising (as I do) on ebay and came across this...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OBD-OBD2-ELM327-USB-CAN-BUS-Tool-Interface-Scanner -327_W0QQitemZ200211412834QQihZ010QQcategoryZ30921QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

It only costs 1p...oh and £16.99 for postage. That's just to make sure you dont return it for a refund when you find it doesn't work

I was wondering if anyone had tried these cheaper USB OBDs from China and HK?

Hi Dave. It's built around the ELM327 chip, you can buy the chips alone for about £20 AFAIK. Add in bulk purchase of chips and 'Made in China', go figure how cheap they can be Roll Eyes

But if it's anything like my Elmscan the interface works well, tried mine on a few Jags, 2 Scorps and a couple of other makes, no problems.

OBD-II ScanMaster by Wladimir Gurskij

This and some of the other software in that list is NOT free software, ScanMaster is a d**n good program but I paid £80 for it alone...some of the other software there is pricey. Either someone's telling porkies or you get a lot of pirated software in there, if you're honestly getting all that software for £20, I'd jump in quick Grin
