[Diy_efi] OBD II cable "

[Rick McLeod]

I too use this and have been very pleased. I opted for
the multi-protocol cable so I coule plug into any
application and it would auto-detect and it has done
so every time. I have found or validated numerous
problems w/ it, so a recommendation is in order.

Good luck with whichever you choose.
