I have brought one of these as none of the new car scanning devices fit the 3pin port. Now they will all work on it I think[?] and finally we can see what the problems with my 4WS and performance are :)

I recommend to people.... Easy as that!

Quite a few people have tried these in the past with no success. Hopefully you have more luck with it!

Not again :twisted: why didn't you come on and ask?

Have tried one of these and they dont work on gen4.
The only thing that sucsessfully works on the 3 pin conecter is the infoboard that a member on here sells ;)

i bought something similar to that, it never drops the connection and never needs to be updated.

Years ago, I bought a second hand Greddy Intelligent Infometer which connects to 16-pin OBDII plug. As The Lude uses a 3-pin plug, I bought one of these adapter cables. It didn't work. The Greddy Infometer was tested on an ATR and was confirmed as OK.

I discovered that there isn't much aftermarket support for the OBD2a P5M ECU in the H22A8. Most OBD2 dataloggers / diagnostics equipment are compatible with the OBD2b standard rather than the comparatively neglected OBD2a. For their communications, they use the K-line output from the ECU which OBD2a ECUs do not have.

I am now a happy owner of an Infoboard Touch.
