Ive pretty much outgrown my Jornada 548 Pocket PC, and Id like to still use it, only for the car this time. I payed 600 bucks fro this thing a couple of years ago and Id hate to see it go to waste.

I was thinking about mounting it as sort of like a monitor (integrated in the dash, with a sideways view) for things such as onboard diagnostics and stats etc...


Ive been searching on the web for some time now, and I cant seem to find a product thats decently priced, and CLEARLY defined. Meaning theres too much babble on things such as "connection 34234#hdin, to module number blah blah)

I just want to Hook something up to the OBD II connector, run the software on my Pocket PC, and get a nice "stats" screen...)

I found some site with a free zip download

But it says I need to purchase an interface from scantool.net...

Visited scantool.net, and can seem to sort through all the hazy posts...


Can someone reccomend??

Thanks so much

Its using Scantool.nets interface, and the combo software I posted above on the link, heres how it would break down.
