ELM327 on ebay ?
 
Has anyone tried these units? at the price, seems like a cheap solution but is it only good for viewing live data and is extra software needed to do more useful stuff?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

or from china ,, super cheap price but suspect it might be a plug n pray item !

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

I understand the later volvos use a dual CAN bus serial system low/high speed (2 links) for their around vehicle 'communications'

I've used one along with some free software on my s80, it will read and clear some codes, engine check, abs etc. but it wont clear the likes of srs

Free s-w
 
Hi Galoot,

Thats interesting, is it the software that limits what modules your able to tinker with, was the free software supplied with the ELM or from somewhere else ?

not too sure, but I think its not simply a case of software , my software came with the elm unit , if you get a unit I can send you a copy

Thanks 400-Ascona for recommending this unit. £95 well spent in my opinion.
Gutted.....I gave £150 for mine with the BMW lead and files for most cars back in August!:broken_heart:

Anyone got information on this unit which can be seen at www.eobd2.eu Will it work on a 2000 S80? Is says it will work with 2001 on petrol and 2004 on diesels. Anyone tried it? Will it read volvo specific codes.
