i would like to get an ALDL to USB cable to plug into my laptop. I would like to get some good free software to use.
Does anyone have any links to this software. thank you

 

tunerpro.com or google winaldl

 

tunerpro.net....

tunerpro.com is something else entirely...

 

you are correct as usual, I have this mental block about dot net sometimes.

 

I downloaded tuner pro and it seem like it does a little more than just read codes on OBD 1 cars. I was looking for something a little less complex. Im not really into the custom chip tuning.

 

WINALDL

google

 

www.moates.net for the cable and for the chips and burner and such when you decide to start your own tuning.

www.tunerpro.net for the software. It works great for datalogging, then will work great when you decide to start your own tuning.

 

isn't WinALDL 160baud only? that won't work for a 90...

"I was looking for something a little less complex. Im not really into the custom chip tuning. "

it's only as complex as you want it to be, you can easily ignore most of the stuff if you're just looking to scan for error codes.

 

I've got some written in vb.net because winaldl has been really consistant at blue screening windows 7. haven't done any graphics yet mainly because I don't know how. Anyone want to take it over? It also has the neat feature of reading the .bin from $8D through the ALDL.

 

so will Win ALDL work or not being a 160baud? I like it because it has a dash and is easy to navigate.

 

What is it you're looking to do?

If you simply want to access stored codes a paper clip will help you there. If you want to see more detailed data, then tunerpro would likely be what you will want. V5 has customizable dashboards as well.

 

I am looking to be able to plug it in and see some more detailed info. Where can i get the cable to use? the right one? can some one send me a link

 

Tunerpro v5 for your software.
ALDL cable either from moates.net or aldlcables.com.
Be sure to get a USB cable, not a serial port cable.

 

Is TunerPro V5 free?, and where do i get it from, can someone send me a link

you'll need the RT version.

you'll have the full features of the software, however, without registering it, there is a 10 second nag screen every time you launch the program.

 

You will need to get an ALDL to USB converter also. The cable will connect to your computer through the internet port but tunerpro wont be able to connect unless you purchase an ALDL to USB converter; The ALDL cable will plug into converter and a USB cable will plug into the converter. Its all on the Moates Web site.

 

Re...

i will sell you my laptop with Diacom and cable included for cheap, it will do all you want it to and it is very easy / simple to use please PM me for details...GTA

 

why cant i just get one of the aldl cables with usb on the other end instead of using the convertor

 

90L98$8d was referring to the moates cable, which is a two piece unit, one side has the ALDL interface and ends with a RJ45 connector, the other is a converter to make the GM 8192 baud signal into a USB signal by way of a serial-USB converter.

that's basically a moates specific arrangement though, i believe it's done that way due to being able to interchange the 12 and 16 pin ALDL connectors easier.

 

Look at Tunercat as well. My impression day one of tuning it was the easiest to use to modify my .bin. It lets you see the basics and then as you progress you can ask for other features at no xtra cost. I used winALDL to datalog. winALDL is a simple and user friendly as you can get.

I bought my cable from customefis $40
