Title: OBD II LEAD WANTED
Post by kimi on May 13^th, 2006, 5:41pm

Has anyone got an OBDII lead to sell, I've been given a Laptop ( daughters can be nice, er, I wonder what she wants ? ) so I'm looking for a lead. Or how much is a new one ? as I do not know how much use I'd get out of it. Thanks all ....Kimi....

Thanks but I just want the OBDII lead that connects a laptop to the socket under the dash/mini glove box on the scorpio 2.9 24v cossie. It's not the lead but a usb-to-serial port adapter he seems to be selling....Kimi....

It looks to me like the whole kit, as stated in the listing; "This unit comes complete with Serial cable (6ft/1.8m), OBD-II cable (6ft/1.8m), interface unit and software on CD." I think the usb lead is incase your Laptop doesn't have a serial port which quite a few new ones don't.

A site I looked at last night has the software and updates that you can download , it looks as if the software is free to download. I'm going to have another look tonight and try the download. I will post the answer on here...Kimi...
