Anybody used one of these before? It sounds like it would be nice to have to know what is going on with your car?

This is just one example I found.

Some guy over at the CL site has the setup in his car. It looks pretty cool.

 

I have the set up in my CL-S. Its pretty fun to play with. Just know that it is for diagnostics use only, so you can't write anything to the computer. I bought the software & connector from http://obd-2.com/ for $142. I can also read GMs & Fords (not that I would ever want to :P)

Here are a few lousy pics of my setup

mantis,

$142 isn't bad. Have you actually diagnosed any problems with it or just displayed sensor readings?

 

I haven't actually diagnosed any problems yet. Everytime something on my car screws up, I'm less than a mile away from the dealer. I end up dropping it off before I can diagnose anything.

It reads a lot more than just error codes though.
