SE_Sport_Driver carpal tunnel Registered: 05/01/2001 Posts: 4903 Loc: Detroit, MI USA	I have no idea what this thing is! I found it in a garage to a vacant house that we were working on... saved it from the dumpster. Anyway, I was wondering if any of you had any info on this thing... Most of the search results are in German. Linky _________________________ Brad B.

sein old hand Registered: 07/01/2005 Posts: 893 Loc: Sector ZZ9pZa	That looks like the machine my service place used to check my cars' fault log. You can also use it to issue commands to set things like anti-hijack locking, beeping on lock, reset service interval, setting up retro-fit cruise control etc etc. I do believe that machine can be emulated with a specific serial cable and some Windows software. You may find some more info on the Skoda Forums. Nice find! _________________________ Hussein

AndrewT old hand Registered: 16/02/2002 Posts: 867 Loc: Oxford, UK	Yeah, I'd love to snag one of those cheaply too. Some guy on a GM car forum is getting good results with Autoscanner http://opel-scan.ru/forum/index.php (you'll need Babelfish!). I don't know if it's really this simple but I'd imagine your Saab's ECU may also be used in a GM model. If it's just fault codes you want, can't you "paperclip test" your car to get the EM lamp to blink codes? Attachments 280831-TC.jpg (1687 downloads)
