1.5a OBD II ELM327 USB CAN-BUS Scanner
OBD-II Software for ELM327 USB is a free program that allows you to use your PC and a hardware interface to get the information from your car's computer.
The program is very user-friendly, and easy to learn. It is also very easy to install: simply extract the files into a folder on your computer's hard drive, and you're ready to go. To uninstall the program, simply delete the entire contents of the folder where the program resides.
The software supports two platforms - DOS and Windows.

You get what you pay for, and what you are paying for here is what I would call the minimal hardware implementation of the ELM327. You are not paying for the software, basically. After a year, the device does not want to connect, using any free software. The software that came with it, I updated, and it recognized this as a knock off and refuses to connect.
So, you get crappy software, and hardware that is fluky.

Bought this item and it works as described. Software that comes with it leaves alot to be desired. Hooked it up to my laptop, installed software, and able to use within 20 min. This item worked on my 98 Dodge Ram, 00 Dodge Intrepid, and 98 Honda Accord. Does not work on Porsche! Much better than buying an OBD2 scanner from Autozone for a $100 or more!
