Hey Guys,

Just bought a 1994 BMW 318iS. From what I understand they use OBD1 which is a 20 pin connector and OBD1 does not follow any standards like OBD2.

Does anyone know of any software which will communicate with the protocol that the BMW uses for OBD1 and be able to poll information from the ECU so I can have some sort of live statistics either fed to my laptop, WM Device or a PALM OS device if need be.

Has anyone done this before, or are you able to give me an insight on where to read up more about it.

Thanks,

-Frank

Look for the Carsoft software and see if it does what you want.
