If all you want to do is keep an eye on what's going on, you can download an evaluation copy of PCMSCAN at (http://www.palmerperformance.com/pro...scan/index.php). You will need an ELM327 OBDII cable and interface that are available on eBay. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-E...motiveQ5fTools)

That package looks to be quite inexpensive .... Have you actually used it and I'm wondering why not use the hardware interface/cable that they sell with it ??? Thanks

The evaluation package is free and will do what the requested above. Buying an ELM327 on eBay is just another way to cut costs.

Yes, I have it and use it regularly.
