Hopefully a somewhat easy question this time. I'd like to get into the data stream on my ecu. I want to see whats going on with the idle that way. I've got the tactrix 1.3u cable (from evoscan) they say it's compatible with my96 models, but i cant for the life of me figure out how to communicate with my computer.

 

I've got the obd connector on the end of the cable, as well as another 9 pin block connector of some kind. I need some help from someone experienced in this area, i'm not sure what to do with it.

 

Do i need to have the subaru select monitor plug to use this cable? I can wire one up if need be, but i thought just the obdII connector was good enough.

You've mentioned both the cable and your computer, but not the software. What program are you running?
