[sweefu]

Hey guys, was just browsing and came across this..

its a usb diagnostic cable .. not sure if anyone has every owned one or if it would ever help with anything?
Cheers.

yeah they are useful, but i see his last cable sold for $137. theyre not worth that much. a few dollars worth of electrical components, and then a little more for the connector

 

[sweefu]

gee $137 is a fair bit. i'm thinking about getting one, what does it allow you to do though?
Cheers mate.

get sensor readings from every sensor on the car, graph them out together to find what sensor is playing up, and how others are reacting to it. if the cable saves you from replacing one sensor that wasnt faulty, then it almost pays for itself.

cheers for that mate, looks like its worth it cus i'm always wondering about my 02 sensors

I just got the last 1 he sold for $83, if it can save me from buying/ replacing 1 part, and not payn' to find out what DTC codes I have logged, etc I will be happy. Also clears DTC. Depends largely what software you run and the OBD systems that are accessible in that model's PCM.
The same guy sells a USB interface from Steering wheel stereo buttons to onboard PC. The same PC that will be giving you those sensor/ RPM and other displays.
Think of those possibilities... IT COST ME $20 Free delivery on both of them!
Tell me that's not good value.

Pretty sure there are a couple of guys on here that make and sell them.. michaelW springs to mind.

Have a search around on here, you should be able to find out how to make your own.

Yep michaelgw = michaelw

$20 was a *bit* below what I was hoping for but hey that is why it is an auction. I guess I'll have to find another way to retire early...
