USB -> VR/VS/VT adaptor

michaelw · Aug 7, 2005

I have designed and got working a USB to OBDI cable. This will work with a VR -> VT. The software to use is EfiLive V4. It has an evaluation copy that will run until the end of this year.

I have one cable ready to go and if anyone else wants any more it wont take too long to make more.

It will cost $65 + $5 postage.

I can also do the VN/VP cable for $55. The difference in price is the VN plug is much cheaper.

Also if anyone wants to make their own serial version I can point you in the right direction.

Email me at [email protected] for further info.

over my head

whats this cable thingy actually plug into?

Take a look under the steering column. There is a port there. You can plug this into my wonderous device

From this you can read off what most of the car sesnors think are measuring.

Take a look at http://www.efilive.com look at efilive V4. That is the software you need to get.

Can you make one for a vx 5.7? If so how much?

michaelw · Aug 14, 2005

The cable should not be a problem, different beast again to the VN/VP or VR->VT. The problem is finding a program to read the codes. Any ideas?

As for cost I don't think it would cost that much more (~$15) as it is only a few extra bits.

OK. I have found some software that might work:

Hardware not a problem, I need you to check the following to confirm I get the correct chip. Which OBD standard does the VX have?

the price is $55 + $5 postage. It plugs into a diagnostic port behind the left hand side passenger side kick panel.

I have now got some cheeper plugs so the VR/VS/VT version is now $65. (note that efilive trial version runs out at the end of the year)

I am working on the GENIII version and expect to have something next week.
