  • Making a AUTOTAP CABLE?

    Is there any way to make my own cable for AUTOTAP? I have a cable that came with a Hypertech programmer, looks like printer cable on one side and on the other side it is ODB2 connector. Is this the same type of cable autotap uses?

    Autotap uses the same one but it uses a DB9 serial outlet.

    the hypertech purposely chose the DB15 so you couldnt use it for that reason.

    If you look under your dash, the OBD2 connector actually only uses 4 wires (power, ground, tx, rx).

      You need J1850 to RS232 translation box. Check out the VPW section on the OBD Hacking UBB:

              Slacker, I believe so.. Post that question in the VPW section of the obd hacking board.. Paul of EFILive frequents the board. He may be able to help you.
