Cheapest solution for monitoring EOT and ECT?

travsav · #1 (**permalink**) 02-05-2011, 05:01 AM

Ideally I'd like to get an Insight, but that's not in the budget right now.

I was thinkin' about buying an ODBII-to-USB connector, and finding some software for my laptop.

Thought I'd see if you guys had any cheaper/better method?

I also have an Iphone, and have read about a bluetooth ODBII connector?

I think that SCT makes a cheap easy data moniter. Its not a tuner just data monitering.

Watch ebay, I picked up a used insight for $50 shipped.

I have not seen the iphone based ones, but I would think the big problem is you want to not only monitor things going down the road, but do so all the time. Hooking up a laptop is nice in your driveway, but do you want it running while you are going down the highway? Or more accurately, explain to a trooper what you were doing?
