V8 Code Readers

[superdavelotus]

Hi all,

Iam looking for a birthday present for myself next week and was looking at a code reader for my V8 that I've seen on LEW. I don't know which one to go for?

I have a laptop so I could go for the cheapest version. What's the advantage of the more expensive ones apart from having it's own display?

Can owners who have bought this type of software please let me know their experiences. Also if there's anything available elsewhere would be useful too!

Just about to order one for me!

I am going for the USB one Here

I emailed them to check that it was the right one.

Will this work as it says for cars 2001 onwards?

Looks pretty good...

Also do you have to purcahse the software seperately as it's saying the complete package with software is

Hi thanks for the replies. Jeff hooper has just pointed me in thr right direction. Iam going over to see him to get a demo as he has bought a Gendan USB kit. With the LEW discount it comes down to

Hi Dave

I bought the Digimoto software with the mOByDic interface - that's pretty good. Software works well, and the interface will connect to pretty much any of the post 96 ECUs as it supports the three main interface protocols

OBD interface arrived yesterday - hooked it up and everything works fine.

Doesn't fit the boot connector as it is fouled by the battery mount.

Fitted it fine to the under dash connector on the passenger seat.

Will be looking to develop some software for it specifically for the Esprit V8 as I have tried all the free software and whilst they do work and show the details - they are very generic.

I want some software that simply logs data whilst the car is running which I can then analyse later.
