**novolo** · 03-02-2006, 12:49 PM

Hi, i know there are some obd-ii software that are freeware, but i dont know one that is "good looking" i mean, i have 2 free programs but they dislpay almost everything in graphs, and one gauge for rpm, and the gauge doesn't look too good..

so i started this thread so that those of you who know of some good free obd-ii software can post here the link and some aditional information, you can include a screenshot if you want...

hi!

what about obd-diag? :-)

www.obd-diag.de (scroll down, download -> OBD-DIAG - Software english Version 1.0)

freeware,full skinable...(default skin from me)

works with all obd-diag adapters, the software is a project from the german carpc community.
next time we start the professional version with a lot more specs ;-)

OH MY GOD!!! THIS IS IT!! THIS IS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR! WHERE WHERE YOU MAN? YOU ARE MY SAVIOUR!!

It looks great, and you say it fully skinnable? even better... this is great!

and if you say it works with almost all interfaces, this is great, o you know if it works with the multiplex engineering interface?

oh, annother thing, where could i download more skins for this? does it work with windows 98? i think i'll use win98 on my carputer

thanks man!

good looking skin

... please let me know when you finish it...

oh, annother question.... i've never used any OBD II software, never... so, i wanted to know is the data speed fast enough? i mean, does it look like frame by frame or do the gauges move smoothly? just curious

Depends on your interface and your car. Its not going to look real time in any even. All data you pull takes 1 amount of time. Lets say it refreshs 1000millliseconds. That means 1000 milli's for mph, 1000 millis for rpms etc etc.
