Hi

OK, I've bought a cheapo Tech2 (OBD factory) and I think I now have the wherewithal to connect it to a laptop that has the required ports.

A few Q's...

1.I have a disc supplied with the Tech2 - do I have to have it in the CD drive when I connect the Tech2, or is it purely a list of codes and what they mean?

2. Do I connect to the diagnostic port with the ignition on or off (I assume I don't want the engine running???)

3. Where exactly is the diagnostic port? I've looked around, but I can't see it.

4. If I'm asking all these questions, should I give up now and take it to the stealer and pay him his £45 for half an hour?

3. Where exactly is the diagnostic port? I've looked around, but I can't see it.

It's in the fusebox (Under the steering column, lower part of the dash) just between the relays and fuses.

Will move to genchat, I think, as its more of a tech2 prob rather than an Omega prob, if you follow....

Just dont ask me how to do this teck2 stuff!  Not got a Scooby!....
