Re: [MBZ] Save 50% or More on Diagnostic Scan Tools at Amazon
Anyone knowledgeable about these things? I have one of the basic code readers from a few years ago that has served me well. However, I believe that there are better ones out there that will let you run a scan while driving. Mine is only to be used with the engine off. I guess the next question is whether there is software and an interface that would permit one to do it with a laptop computer.

I see a doodad that would plug into the car connector. I assume it stores data while one drives or at least runs the engine. I assume the CD gets installed on a computer. How does it then connect to the computer? I assume that I am seeing the same doodad in all of the images shown.

Randy who has no idea if his laptop has bluetooth capability Yes, you use that interface with a smartphone, PDA, or laptop with Bluetooth (there are Bluetooth adapters for a computer that doesn't have it already.) You need software on the computer or whatever to talk to the OBDII box: there are various free and not-so-free possibilities. OBD2Spy is one popular one: http://www.elm327-bluetooth.com/obd2spy/ Then you drive around and watch all kinds of realtime data as well as being able to pull CEL codes! As usual with these kind of things, rolling your own takes a little more effort than buying a dedicated scan tool, but it's also a more flexible and powerful solution.
