USPS priority mail typically manages to deliver the package within 3 days so if you order on Monday you should expect it by Thursday at the latest.

Hi Paul (michbound), two quick questions for you -

1. What specific benefits/advantages does the obdpros.com tool have over the ob2allinone.com tool ?

2. What is the lead time for delivery right now ? If I order today when can I get it ?

Thanks.

michbound

The obd2allinone uses an ELM327 chip so it's a fine interface,

advantages of the OBDPro

1. You do not need to open up the box to change speeds and supports multiple speeds between the PC and the interface; all the way upto 128K, this comes in handy when you are monitoring a vehicle with CAN, VPW or PWM protocols as you have a slew of messages coming through

2. The OBDPro has a deeper buffer so you are less likely to see a buffer overflow scenario, but it might still happen

3. Price if thats a factor for you

USPS priority mail is pretty reliable and if you order today you should have the interface in hand by Friday at the latest. Of course next day air is faster but then costs more also.

One HUGE thing that Paul didn't mention is that the OBDPro allows for the possibility of full access to the OBDII datastream. This doesn't mean anything to the end user directly, but look back a page or two and note Mr. Digimoto coming forward and saying that they will support this.

That would be _incredible_.

The net effect of this happening would be much better communication between application and car, along with not being limited to what's defined in the "AT" command set of the ELM327 (and it's cousins).

Midiwall is correct as usual , but since that capability is not present at the moment I did not want to overpromise, but it is coming pretty soon.

Thanks for mentioning it.

You mention adding features to the OBDPro. How are updates to the OBDPro handled? is it flash upgradeable by the end user, or would it need to be sent in for a chip swap? Is the microcontroller socketed?

I'm interested in being able to access the full range of messages. I love to try and reverse engineer my new toys and whats a car but a big toy? :-)

I've been wanting to play with a car network for a while, but until last week my vehicle was pre 1996 so I was unable to.

I have a 2002 bmw 325i that i am will to test with also a 2001 Lexus gs 300

Hi Ian,

The micro is socketed on the Serial interface, I have'nt figured out how I would handle updates, most of the other manufacturers want you to buy a new scantool, but we are planning on just charging a $15 shipping fee and if you ship the interface back to OBDPros we will reflash and ship it back.

Thanks
Paul

Just put my order in for a OBDPro USB on the obdpros website. I didn't know where to put the MP3CAR coupon code (or if it's even valid anymore). I did put a comment in the order comment section though.

I'll give a report once I receive it. I'll be trying it on a 2001 Ford, a 2003 Mercedes-Benz, and a 2002 Toyota. Primary use will be on the Ford though.

Ordered mine just now. Again I couldn't see anywhere for the coupon code (if it's still good), but ordered it anyway. Have to wait for the postage all the way to Australia though

This will be being used on my '06 Impreza Hatch carpc setup. It might be alittle while until I get everythign in the car, but I'll be sure to report back with results

NiSlo,

Just wanted to clarify, I had a limited time beta test offer for an extremely reduced price to test the OBDPro hardware and offer feedback on it's performance, this was limited to the first ten folks. Since then I have moved into limited production with the hardware so have stopped the beta test.

But since even the retail price is so low it's a coupon without needing a coupon

I must say I am very greatful to the MP3forum crowd, they trusted me initially when I asked for a couple of beta testers (when I was a complete unknown) and I will ensure that I maintain this level of trust amongst my customers.

Thanks
Paul
