Hey all just wondering if i was to get a OBD 1 to OBD 2 adapter Link and then to add an OBD 3 scanner to usb Link would it get the correct data to display realtime Engine RPM, Speed, Air Flow etc etc.

just wondering if anyone knows if it would work or if thay have done it what they used to do it and what programs they used.

Thanks

Hmm..not sure. I have a 95 celica GT that was made in mid-94 and has an OBDII connector under the dash. So it is a pre-OBDII car, but it has the right connector built it. It doesn't display all of the same functions as the 96 and newer OBDII cars at the shop do. I would guess that id doesn't work and that adapter is probably for a scanner that only has the OBDII plug but the firmware on the scanner is capable of scanning OBDI and OBDII. But this is only a guess, I wouldn't take it as fact. I wouldn't try it.

If you want to try it for dirt cheap though, and if you have an android phone, get one of the bluetooth adapters on ebay for $25, install "Torque" from the android market (free), and get the adapter that you have in the link. Whether it works or not, it's a cheap way to find out.
