Diagnostic Software

[bodrobot]

Hey,

I was just wondering who has what when it comes to home diagnostics?

Basically i'm sick of going to Mr T to and paying £50 each time.

What's the best thing to get? (don't wanna spend too much!)

Has any1 got software like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-Discs-OBD-1-2-CAR-DIAGNOSTIC-SOFTWARE-ECU-REMAPPING-TUNING-LATEST-ADVANCED-/170718981087?pt=UK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment&hash=item27bfa4ebdf

And if so is it any good and what cable do i need?

Thanks

depends what you want to do with it mate. looks all good if it does what it says. you will probably need a usb to obd connector and just hook up via your laptop. just be careful when youre using it lol could end in

i literally want it for telling me y my EML is coming on, nothing more. Am certainly not using it to tune!!!!

Are all obd connectors the same?

a simple obd scanner will be much easier to use simply plug and play, most of the time the code it throws will just give an idea of whats wrong unless its a specific sensor thats failed. better scanners will run live data from all the sensors which i suppose is the up side to buying the discs as it really helps narrow stuff down obd 2 pluys are the same 16pin
