Title: Tech1 on ebay?
Post by: VX1 on 02 November 2007, 22:13:07
As above. What do you techies think of this tech 1 interface? Does this one plug into a laptop or do I need to get a different one? Any ideas?

You need a serial port IIRC only found on older flap tops.
Best off getting cheapo tech 2 mate IMO  :y

But you wouldn't be able to plug that into your older car with an OBD1(?) socket. ;)  ;)

Egay. they do come up sometimes....

For Omega, ensure you get the right leads, and that you get the Omega cartridge

The 'All Vauxhall' cartridge does not cover Omega. Omega has its own specific cartridge.
