this is one question that I have never found an explanation for. I guess around here its just common knowledge. Anyone care to explain. and get into it, don't be brief, I want some good reading. tia

Let me be brief..


I have the Pocket Datalogger. It is software thats runs on your PDA (Handspring / Palm Pilot and others)

Basicly it can read the data input and output from your cars onboard computer.

currently the version of the software thats out can only do one input function and thats clear and reset the CEL.

There is talk that the programmers are looking at ways to allow the unit to send changes to the computer but I don't know how that research is going.

It is a nice little tool to have if you want to see realtime engine telemetry.

That's awesome. I didn't know there was software out for PDAs too. What software do I need to buy (or pirate) and how would I rig the PDA with the ECU?
