Hey guys
As most of you, I like to tinker with my cars and have a bunch of dedicated OBDII cables and software for my daily drivers.
For the NSX, I've been looking for something that is a bit more convenient and insightful than the paper clip technique. Searching google and ebay results in the usual assortment of unrelated information and bombardment of youtube ads.
I stumbled upon this video on youtube that shows somebody using an Autel802 scanner with an OBDI to OBDII adaptor connected to an old del-sol.
Here's the video:

If this works with the NSX, there are some good advantages:
- Code scanning
- Live monitoring (?)
- Access to ABS/SRS (you can see the menu option for the del sol in the video - hopefully it offers something similar for us)
- Compatibility with most OBDII cars including mfr-specific features (battery coding for BMW etc)
- No in-app purchases, forced upgrades and other unAPPetizing bs
- Cost $200+
There's also an OBDI to Bluetooth solution called HONDASH which comes with a dedicated app. It appears to be similar to Torque and other OBDII apps. Here's a review of it:

Advantages of this one are:
- Code scanning
- Live view
- Future use to feed android tablet
- designed for Hondas
- Cost - $80
Another option is one of the Innova scanners (like the 3120). I'm not really a fan of this company based on bad experience with their tools and customer support in the past. However, if one of you's guys can confirm / recommend an Innova product for the NSX, I'll check it out![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
So, have any of you tried these tools and if so, what are your thoughts?
Cheers
