build a consult cable for $32AU

After playing around with my conzult cable, I inspired my mate to build his own... after modifying the schematic a little, the final result is quite impressive...

So if you are a bit of a technical buff, here is a really cheap way of making a consult cable... It's nice of him to share his creations with the world..

Nissan Consult Port Interface Module & Cable

I think he has a bunch of the connectors too if anyone is interested...

 

great info

 

mmm

seen something like it before but never put one together because there's another type which is just a plain old cable and seems to work fine?

 

I dare to ask but =>

does anyone know how to make these cables for other cars?

 

I think the one you're talking about is made from SMT components

and fits into the connector casing. A very neat little item.

 

Well it sort of depends on the car you're talking about doesn't it

There's heaps of info on OBD-II on the net. Quite a lot of cars use it.

 

Well one of my mates =>

has a ricey Lancer and he is looking for one for his car. I will have a look around on the net for OBD-II stuff.

 

Excellent post :thumbsup:

More Zedders should get into diagnostics & even build their own interface cables.

PLMS have made diy PCB's available for some time.

Like the TWD it's not rocket science, the component cost is a minor consideration, building, calibration & testing can be a bit more difficult.

The other option is to buy ready-made interface cables @ circa $100 ea.

NB: One correct diagnosis via yr own cable may save $100's in workshop time alone.

 

I made my own almost 2 years ago, but was smart enough to

hardwire it in so I didn't have to share

 

Re: I made my own almost 2 years ago, but was smart enough to

Mine is hard wired too, directly to the carputer .

But I have a spare cable too I use on the laptop to help others.

 

how charitable

Mine is straight to the Carputer also. I'm currently working on a graphic LCD display for gauge/error code/mp3 title display on the dash, very easy to do with Conzult type interface and a serial LCD screen

 

ooh show me!

 

"how charitable" .. as indeed, pexzed is ,, and as are MOST forum

members .....

 

I bow to the forum helperer outerer Gods.

I am not worthy, I am not worthy.

 

this is the LCD module I'm using.....

We know Kyne - we know:LOL::LOL:

 

Didn't share it long

 

Might wanna recheck the OP post date.
