Default Has anyone heard of OBDCOM?

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but has anyone heard of this OBDCOM? Does it work?

I have not heard of them specifically but there are many OBD/USB converters out there. Check eBay and you will find them for $25. They read all the OBDII standards codes but not the manufacturer specific codes. The only one that reads all the Jaguar codes, that I know of, is the one by AutoEnginuity. Check the Sticky above for many comments by readers on just about any one you can think of.

That is not a referral only a link.

Thank you. I need to go back to the beginning and read what the different sets of codes are.

I have one of these. It allows you to plug any vehicle with OBD2 into the USB port of a laptop for code scans, diagnostics, etc. You can also set up gages to view on the laptop screen for viewing just about anything & it can record/log/graph performace characteristics over time. Pretty cool actually - I have played with it on all of my cars including my XKR.

It does not read manufacturer specific codes though, just the "generic" OBD stuff...
