Hello from Captain John Smith's and Chief Powhatan's old stomping grounds, at the Pony Pasture Rapids on the James River.

 

I drive a 1997 Legacy L wagon around town, for farm chores, and such. I'm just getting it back into running condition after a year sitting in the driveway, started only infrequently. My mate has a 2005 Outback for commuting which we both drive for pleasure (I telecommute).

 

I'd like to ask for advice on buying an interface to connect my laptop to the OBD II port -- partly about the devices, mostly about the sellers -- but I'm not sure which sub-forum is appropriate. What say the mods and/or regulars?

ELM327 is one of the best there is. Make sure it's a genuine item though not a clone. The genuine ones DO NOT get manufactured in Hong Kong (in case you're searching eBay)

Welcome Meffy!

Welcome aboard! You might want to post your question in the New Gen forum--you'll get more eyeballs there.

Thanks for the welcome and the advice. I'll ask again over in New Gen.
