obd II Cable
ok iv just ordered a Cable to usb for my car due here next week just wondering if people on here who have them have any info for me..
it says i can clear and read ecu errors plus heaps other options which i wouldnt probably want to mess with more so error clearing makes it worth it. it comes with some software apparently ? does any one ahve some better or different software i can get ? also can u copy |

which cable did u get? Tactrix or generic OBD II ?
if its the tactrix cable - then you can do everything, inc change parameters on ur ecu.. if its generic, then you will only be able to read erro codes, clear them and data log only |

im pretty sure it i got the tactrix cable !
and what i meant to ask also was can i copy a complete ecu and transfer it ? or is that dangerous Last edited by NVRENUF; 29-06-2006 at 05:37 PM. |

im bit scared to actually touch anything i shouldnt be.. main reason i got it was so if car is ever runnng funny or somthing doesnt seem right i can check and clear ecu codes...
now if i can do couple other extra things well bonus... but like i said im not going to start changing shit and mess somthing up.. unless someone who uses these canb teach me a few things would be good Last edited by NVRENUF; 29-06-2006 at 05:54 PM. |
