DIY OBD code reader

Post by howie »

I need a code reader and am torn between building a Palm based unit or buying a unit for my '00 S70 from what I gather I can't buy a unit that will clear SRS at a reasonable price so a $39.00 Harbor Freight unit should do the trick.

OTOH a palm based unit would be much cooler with the active diagnostics bells and whistles. I can get a Palm V on ebay for $5.00 or maybe free if I ask enough people at work I threw all of my old Palms away.

Pointers?
