palm obd 2 software
 
has anyone purchased one of the software programs available for palm pilots to read obd 11 codes and for data logging? I have been looking at a few of them and want some input from anyone that has purchased one as to how well they work.
thanks

My friend had one a while ago for his Handspring Visor (discontinued) and it worked wonders; saved him a TON of money. Go out and buy it, and if you don't like it, I'll buy it from you :P



(don't quote me on that, haha)

I have Autoenginuity
 
My Autoenginutity is for a laptop not a PDA but they have a PDA version available. I'm no mechanic but it helps a lot. I've been scanning my car and my daughter's cars. The software will print a report and save a report and that works great because I have a wireless network. Once I have the code I do a Google search on the code and the vehicle, normally I'll get a forum saying what the normal fix has been. Our last code was P0458 and it was a Dodge Grand Caravan. The forums said 9 times out of 10 the fix is a new gas cap. I cleared the code for her and she'll get the gas cap and see if that takes care of it.

I've never used a PDA version scan tool software, but I had an Autotap and now have an AutoEnginuity scanner. The Autotap is more user friendly, but the capabilities of the AutoEnginuity far outweigh it's shortcomings in the interface!

thanks for the input, i will check out the AutoEnginuity, i had not heard of that one. Auto tap seems pretty good but I would like to get one with the most capabilities possible for a reasonable price.
