OBDII and scanners

[cruisinblackp5]

Whos running a OBDII scanner to either a laptop or Pocket PC. Im looking to run something like this that will give me graphical readouts and real time guages too. Also for those running it with tuned cars does this mess with the sensors? I figured someone might be running this type of set up, pretty universal for all cars now.

I have a very good scanner from www.obd2allinone.com.

Has realtime and all the bells and whistles. No probs with my stock setup.

does anybody know if the software is mac compatible or if they have a mac version???

what does this all monitor... i have a UniChip and have to get it tuned by a dealer so i wouldnt mind this to monitor everything myself... does this do maf and shit...

kellan do you just use yours to clear codes like it says or do you use to for tuning also?

I haven't really got into it that much, still learning. It would help u tune as it does tell u signal voltage for most sensors, as this would help for entering certin values. But I think it wont help me much as I am only running E-manage, and signal values that need to be inputed are limited to only really TPS.

ya ok then.. thats what i
was thinking

What software are you running, I think thats the major issue I really have. Most wont work with a car that has had changes made to it. If you have tuned yoru car, chances are it may not work anymore and give a failed readingfor everything.

who me?

im running the unichip

Nah, I was asking kz9 as he is running a OBDII tool with an emanage, wondering if it worked, with the tuner installed and what software he was running with it

[kz9]

Well the program is called PCMSCAN. And yes, this is the only scanner I could find that would connect to my ECU. I have a cheap-ass inovate-tech scanner that used to work fine until I hooked up my e-manage.

The all-in-one comes with this software, and I could hook you up with a crack-licence to have the full version.

OK I emailed them to see what they would have for me, that could work. I think that would work but looking at mounting options Im leaning towards pocket PC stuff. Im probably making this more complicated than it needs to be
