Obd Ii Scanner

[Jarod85]

Does anyone know what the obd2 system on the xr6t's can read. I'm hoping it can read turbo boost in particular.

Cheers for any help.

It probably depends on how much you spend, a cheap unit will only read generic OBD2 codes, not manufacturer specific codes, a workshop style reader will read all codes, but cost upwards of $12000

One of the Units I got is from here: MaxiDiag US703 GM/Expensive Daewoo Ford OBD2 Scanner Code Reader - eBay Other, Tools, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 11-Aug-10 21:36:00 AEST)

On my 2005 BA MKII Turbo it will read and show Engine Temp, Intake Manifold Air Temp, O2 out- put V and Timing. I don't think it will show Boost. I would have to check tomorrow if it does.

Well I don't think the scanner itself will be an issues.

I'll be using software designed to be used with an iPhone and a universal obd2 scanner.

The software itself can read boost psi, and can be configured for all sorts of uses. A bit of a whizz idea this thing.

The only thing I'm not sure of is if the xr6t port actually can capture boost. It's probably an easy answer for a tuner.

yes it can with the correct software, you can do it with an X3 and a laptop

Cheers mate. That's promising news.

I bought the OT-2 from innovate motorsports which is ok and works with the iphone, but doesn't show oil temp or transmission temp even though it is advertised as doing so.

[Jarod85]

Does the innovate motorsport show your boost ?

I have a boost gauge so I haven't really looked in that, but I'm 99% sure it does. I only use it for inlet air temp, volts, water temp. I know it will show spark advance and will show true AFR (I have an LC-1 wideband as well).

I was told by the people that make PLX gauges PLX Devices Inc. - Multi Gauges, Single Gauges, Sensor Modules, Wideband Air Fuel Ratio, Data Logging, Fuel Saving / Scan Tools that the XR6t OBD2 port doesn't have a boost output.
