Software

Does anyone know where to buy software we can use to hook up our laptop computer to our OBD11 computer port to analyze engine performance etc. ? I have analog gauges and would like to monitor temperatures etc. on my laptop using software. 2002 F250 SD 4X4 41K miles Triton V10. Thanks in advance.

Jerry

There are several options depending on how involved you want to get. Autotap from B&B electronics is nice, but there are more powerful datalogging suites. Autotap is more for diagnostics than power tuning. I still need to get my sniper interface back to them for the Recon Data logging mod, but that will be a very nice datalogger.

But I expect there are cheap, if not free, solutions, if you do some searching.

ScanTool

I checked out SanTool's web site, I have composed a message asking them about what hardware I would need for my truck to hook up my laptop to the OBD11 connector, haven't heard from them as of yet.

ScanTool

Hey Angus, I ended up ordering the ScanTool XL and the Scan XL software bundle, this should work out perfect.
