Ditto for Alex P. Been very happy with it.

It's addicting not to hook it up at least once a week. laugh

It'll prove itself useful again when I'll be doing my heat shield.

I'm running OBDScan off my Palm IIIe. It uses a hardware adapter but can be used with a desktop/laptop or Palm computer with a serial port (not USB).

For the quick and simple lookups nothing beats plugging the palm into the car.
