Just been and had a look, shows how bad my memory is, socket is nothing like one, but I still think this is probably what he means.

Sorry, you need to say what you are after, and what you are trying to achieve.

If you are after full dealer level diags, then £2750 will buy you the equipment, then you need a subscription to webTIS

If you are after cheap and nasty diag system, cheapo tech2, but MUST have proper serial port on laptop. Approx £25

There are a couple of options in between.

Hi TB,

     Got centronics on the brain at present.

              Certainly not dealer levell, or cheapo.
 just need a cable & plug/plugs to connect a laptop with a serial port
for engine & gearbox ecu (or are they the same?)  Just experimental ?

Still not sure what you are after  :-/

Are you trying to make your own diags tester?

If not, what software are you planning on running?
