Microscan III's OBD1 cable uses a smaller D-sub connector to a standard 15-pin d-sub connector.Īnyway I found a Microscan Pro OBD1 kit on eBay that should work with my Microscan III as I purchased from Snap-On their Microscan III OBD1 cable. Microscan Pro has an OBD1 kit that uses a standard 15-pin d-sub to 15-pin d-sub cable appears to be the same as used with many Snap-On scanners including the MT-2500. Appearance is the same but Blue-Point / Snap-On must have slightly changed the wiring inside the grey obd1 adapters. Snap-On red and black obd1 adapters aren't compatible with Microscan scanners. (Actually has better visuals with graphs, diagnostics and other functions than most OBD2 scanners.)īlue-Point for what ever reason engineered the Microscan OBD1 grey adapters to only work with Microscan scanners.
The Elm327 wifi modual cost was $5.00 and the Android app $2.99.
Most OBD2 scanners with live readout really don't do much more than a cell phone running an OBD2 app such as e.g. I think I'll just stay with the Microscan III as I recently found a OBD1 adapter kit and cable for it.
