[Shop-talk] Yet again ... best OBD-II hardware/software package ...

[Arvid Jedlicka]

I need to diagnose the Check Engine light on the wife's '97 BMW M3.

Given the plethora of Wintel laptops I have lying around it would seem that 
getting the hardware and software to make one into a dedicated OBD-II reader 
would be the appropriate path.

It seems it has been about a year since this topic was discussed so ... what 
are the latest thoughs on the subject?

Thanks,
Arvid
