Tech1 on ebay?
« 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?

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

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