You need a device to plug in the OBD socket, such as a USB elm327. Nothing to do with TOPIx.
Try being far less terse or we;ll be dozens more messages getting anywhere..

@Joycejag, yes I want to do a scan diagnostics. I want to know if it worth using the topix to do so and just use one of the recommended device suggested here.

@ JagV8 Pretty much i want to know if you will get more info from topix than like you suggested an Elms 327 scanner

TOPIx is a web site you can browse and download from. It does not interact with your car or any OBD tool you are ever likely to own. You would need to be a jag franchise or the like, with their IDS (about $6-10K) for that.

There is a lot of interesting data on the site if you care to spend time reading it.

It has almost nothing at all to do with what you can do with an elm.

If you want advanced OBD-type stuff, there are some useful data files on the site but that's it. You would need to buy a jag-specific OBD tool as has been stated on here many times, such as AutoEnginuity. (And it has no connection to TOPIx.)
