Just wondering which would be a good budget buy for now. I dont really have a need for it for the z but for the elgrand for now. I was thinking of buying the consult ll off ebay just to read and clear codes for the elgrand but after reading a few reviews seems like its a trial version. Has anyone used the NDS ANdroid and is it any good? Considering which to get as I would like to be able to run checks myself. Nothing is coming up for conzult. Would I be able to use the free conzult with the folowing

All this is new to me so any advice will be much appreciated

 

Thanks

Don't know why they are calling this a consult II, as that is something completely different and as usual for most ebay adds for chinese junk: quite deceiving

 

A real consult II (a device to diagnose later model Nissans) looks like this:

 

I am not sure your are able to use this particular cable on your elgrand, as this cable has a specific connector that is only found on Nissans from the 90's (eg. the 300ZX)

For other/newer cars (like your elgrand) you will probably need a real Consult II (VERY expensive and hard to find with the correct ROM-cards)..and if you are lucky it will work with a generic OBD2 code reader.

 

On top of that , these chinese ebay conzult cables are hit/miss and most don't work (well).

They usually come with a cd that has a mix of freeware/crippled Nissan diagnostic software (for Windows), which they ripped of the internet...but should be enough to read and clear codes on your Zed.

 

If you want to be able to use your Android tablet/phone as a OBD/DDL-diagnostic device, your best bet will be to purchase a bluetooth or wifi type diagnostic adapter (for the 300Z/Nissan these are quite expensive) and hope for the best.

 

eg. http://www.trackelectronics.com.au/consultbt

 

From what I have seen the Android software for the 300ZX looses it's connection to the cable all the time and is useless for this reason (imo)

Lymon, do you still supply the full conzult package?

Yes, I can still provide the software, but I don't make/sell cables anymore.

 

If you need a cable, I recommend PLMS/Nistune cables for best results.

I have a Blazt cable, that any good?

Yes, Blazt cables also work fine.

But as Blazt/Blazt.com went out of business a couple of years ago, there is no support anymore...so getting drivers/support to have the adapter work under the newer versions of windows may be difficult or impossible.

I've got a couple of questions if you don't mind. I have a full version of conzult (V.2 I believe it is). Anyway, it works with the conzult cable. Am I correct in thinking it won't work with the old blatz cable I have?

There used to be 2 separate versions of the conzult:

 

- The old conzult software, with software versions v2.x, is what we (DTA Motorsport) used to sell many years ago and only works with the cable that was sold in combination with the software.

It won't work with any of the 3rd party cables.

 

- The (current) Conzult software with software version 1.x was made to only work with 3rd party cables.

 

We stopped selling the first one about 6-7 years ago and nowadays the only version available is the one that (only) works with 3rd party cables.

 

 

Hope this helps

Thanks mate. So is the V1.x something that I can download and is it as good as the one that I have? I.E. has all the same stuff?

Also, should I be able to read the maps off a Nistune ECU? When I go into that bit, nothing seems to come through that's all.
