DIY Scantool...
Is there anyone else than me that have thought about building a stand-alone scantool with a LCD display that can show you some of the vital values without needing a laptop in the vehicle?
I think I can whip up a basic design for something like this, probably based around a PIC microcontroller since I've worked with those before.
But before I start, I'd like some suggestions as what data might be of most interest to show.... Any suggestions?
By the way, anyone know where I can get hold of an used 1227165 ECM cheap? Email me privately, might come in handy for development of this project in case something goes wrong..... (Do remember I don't live in the US, over here they are a bit more rare to come by!).

That link is dead, and second I have seen that webpage before. My idea was to create a free scantool design that was uncomplicated so that anyone could built it, with only basic equipment. A *FREE* design, that one you pointed out is not free, you'd have to buy the chip, a thing I thought you were against...
