Hi All,

Is there anyone who knows of or has a system that runs on a laptop and can watch live all the OBD2 functions live / real time? I need to see Lamba and throttle % whilst running in the garage to check some stuff!

Is there a system to do this?

Thanks Stuart

The AA have a system on their lap top as it was used on my car so you should be able to get one try Maplins as they sell electronic equipment testers etc or go on their web site as they might be able to order what you want cheers.

OBD2 is an interface standard , there few programs around which offer various outputs to be monitored usually on a window platform

Ebay have loads of interfaces for sale some with software.I have an interface on for my audi but haven't tried the ford ones.

will the stuff on ebay show me live data when I run the car or just show fault codes because I am not interested in that! I want live feedback from obd2 socket of all available features?
