OBD2 to Laptop Cable

[JayBear]

Does anyone know where to buy and how much money it is for a OBD2 connector to a serial port for a laptop? Also what about the GM connector to laptop cable?

Should be able to find pieces at www.obd-2.com , I think he sells just the connectors there.

Normally, you need an interface like this one in between your computer and your laptop:

It comes with the obd2 cable, interface and the serial cable.

It is available also in USB output instead of RS232(serial).

obd-2.com has the interface inside the cable.

If you have already an interface, I recommend this cable:

Sorry but it does not work on any OBDII vehicle unless you get both models(regular and CAN). But their regular scanner should work with your malibu.

FYI, all GM vehicles starting in 06 changed over to the CAN protocol with most of the 60* V6 powered vehicles changing in 05. The traditional OBDII scanners cannot read this protocol.

Wasnt aware of that. Thanks for the info!
