What does the datascan do on the group buy section? why is it so good? :confused:

I must admit i'm a gadget man and i was tempted but can't see the point really? Anyone want to enlighten us?

Its a Monitoring and Diagnostics tool.

 

Full Funcionality : http://home.curl.aunz.net/tpkolo/Functions.htm

 

But in summary, its a diagnostics tool that allows you to monitor your car, and diagnose problems.

 

You can see Outputs such as :

 

- Water temp (far more accurate than the stock guage)

- o2 sensors (common failure causing Rich fuel mixtures affecting performance)

- TPS (affects idle and gear shift on autoboxes)

- Injector duty cycle, Volts, and many more...

 

..evenr when your driving with a Laptop or Carputer.

 

Check ECU for error codes, and reset.

 

Do Performance tests, 0-60mph, 0-100mph, 60-100mph ..etc

 

Workshop diagnostic tools such as being able to switch of Cylinders to diagnose misifiring problems, adjust timing, datalogging, ....etc

 

Its customizable, allowing you to change the way it looks and what information you would like to see.

sounds flash, but i take it you need a laptop or somesort of screen fitted in the car, is it just like a conzult?

guess it does quite a lot then

dont have a laptop tho, wud have to get a really long usb cable from my bedroom to the car :rofl:

Laptop or Carputer required.

 

Yes its a kind of mini conzult, similar functonality whereas Conzult leans towards the Workshop tool side, and this leans more towards the Real-time monitoring side.

i cant aford one yet but how much would it be for a half decent carputer setup that i would be able to use the datascan on

i still want to work out what

 

"10. Map trace" is?

 

As a programmer if i could figure out how it works theoretically you could record talemetry like f1/wrc which would be cool for track days especially if you had a g meter set up to record as well....

 

but with my rad exploding think i'll put that 50 quid to getting my car back online first :( good deal though!

Screen shots of the Map Trace function. The software has data logging functionality.

 

Ahh that makes more sense now i've seen it
