You can buy them on eBay for $189.00 plus postage.

What Mat was trying to say was that for 5 orders to a single address, they are $170 each and NO postage. If they went to different addresses then it is $170 PLUS postage.

Cheers.

also mat, youll wanna check there compatable to your car...normally cars before 03 were just OBD not OBDII...

the scanguage site doesnt say the astina/protege/323 or lasers are compatible...

I have physically checked that ScanGauge II are compatible with my SP20.

The company doesn't list what cars they are compatible with because they do not test them themselves and reply on the purchaser to provide feedback as to whether they work or not.

I amd trying to find out if my car is OBD I or OBD II.
So far I have not been able to clarify it.

bourbon
25-03-2010, 11:49 AM
also just cause a car has a OBDII port doesnt mean it will work in it...the mini has it but doesnt work on it...only models that are from 05- do...which is stupid but it suposebdly in the ecu that stops something from working...

Any units bought that don't end up working in a particular car can be sent back to the supplier for a refund of the purchase price minus a 10% restocking fee.

Although you should be the same as us Phil. OBD-I and OBD-II are generally divided up region (USDM, JDM EDM etc) not by model - at least for the BJ Mazda's.

Well we found out on saturday there is a major difference between the Sp's and non sp's with the ability to program new keys into the system.

And Gav seems to think his old BJ was a OBD I.

But if there is only a 10% restocking fee if it doesn't work then count me in.

Pretty sure that all AUDM's are OBD-I (as they are JDM delivered vehicles)and USDM are OBD-II.

Anyway, another one on the list. Just need one more Brisbane-ite and discount and free shipping is ours :D

just a question what do these mean?
Open/Closed Loop
Manifold Pressure

what do they tell u about the cars performance

It's been a long time, but I have in my head that the BJ 1.8 is OBDI and the SP20 is OBDII. Which would be why I never ever bought one for either of my 2 BJs [and I really watned one!]... Also, IIRC, There's no difference between the BJI, BJII and J48 diagnostic port.

Duncan, you'd be taking a big chance if you bought this for your car. I only know one person who has one of these, so it's not like you can just go ask and test your car to see if it works. :(

I have a list of all the fault codes for my car and have just compared them to the OBD-ii fault code list and they are the same codes.
Which kinda makes me think they could be obd-ii.
Im not sure but there is a way to find out. I will try and look tomorrow.

Mad Mat
26-03-2010, 09:46 AM
ok guys i'm doin the deal. i have had a very nice talk to matthew at scan gauge and he is willing to do it for 4 unikts :D so pay up biatches :D

phildough
26-03-2010, 01:45 PM
Ok I have just had a nice chat with the helpful guys at Mazda technical support.

The good news is that limited functions on the Scan Gauge will work on SP20's as they have an OBD-II connector.
As far as the 1.8 and 1.6's are concerned they were never fitted with the OBD-II connector.

Boo Hoo.
I wanted one.

oh yeah i forgot to post it here lol
i didnt find any universal ones but i found the honda ones so that doesnt help
ALDL cable refferences kept popping up (assembly line diagnostincs lead or something) and from what i understand this is what OBD1 refferes to but this is not universal (AFAIK) i havernt been able to track down any OBD1 for mazda yet

phildough
03-04-2010, 06:30 PM
From what I have found the fault codes displayed by my car are the same as OBD-II codes but my car has a OBD connector.

70NYD
03-04-2010, 06:41 PM
ok so the OBD 1 (ALDL) is a 12 pin setup while the OBD2 (J1962) is a 16 pin setup..
i let u peeps know if i find a interface between the 2
BUT im sure that it wouldn b hard to find what the pinout is for the mazda 12pin aldl and make up jumpers to go to the 16 pin obd2 (since it is very standard)

This is what I think is my OBD connector.
Its the only loose plug I can find within reach of the drivers seat and it hangs underneath the dash
Hopefully this helps.
I can give you the colour coding if needed.

Phil, if that is the same as the diagnostic port in the engine bay, then it is the OBD port. If not, it's one of those erroneous Mazda plugs you find everywhere.

Cosmo Dude
03-04-2010, 08:01 PM
OBD plugs, I and II, should be within reach when sitting in the drivers seat and not need tools to access.
P.S. 7ONYD spell out your ****ing words or I'll shove Rodger Cordia up your ****ing nose and pull him out your a$$.

chicaboo
03-04-2010, 08:24 PM
The BJ doesn't have a hard-mounted OBD port in the same location as the SP20. So it could be the loose white plug Phil photographed, but he would need to check it against the diagnostic port in the engine bay to be sure.

marcs_sp20
03-04-2010, 08:48 PM
and to confuse things even more, I have that same plug phil refers to that is just dangling near the centre dash peice :eek:

The OBDII port in the SP20 is behind the bonnet pull ;)

Orion
03-04-2010, 09:25 PM
I dont think that the plug in Phils picture is OBD as I dont think that there are enough pins.

My upgraded factory alarm module sits around that area so it might be a spare plug for that :confused:

chicaboo
03-04-2010, 09:31 PM
If it's for the factory alarm, Matt would know, 'cause I think he fitted his alarm himself.
From memory, the plug Phil showed looks a lot like it would fit into the alarm module.

Is installing an alarm using that plug just something you simply plug in or is there more to it?

marcs_sp20
04-04-2010, 06:44 PM
Basically its a plug for the hi-spec mazda alarm...

chicaboo
04-04-2010, 06:44 PM
More to it, you have to remove the a [and b?] pillar trim to run the cabling and drill a hole in the dash for the system indicator light.

mynameisdaniel
04-04-2010, 09:53 PM
ahhk something i can install myself or not?, is there somewhere i can get more information about this alarm? like what activates it etc? cost? Never feel safe leaving my car parked somewhere even though it has an immobilizer lol.

chicaboo
05-04-2010, 12:33 AM
If you feel comfortable doing the things I mentioned, then yes. My local Mazda dealer sell/install these for $350 to suit the BJ.

Otherwise, steering wheel locks and window tinting [below the sill] are effective, ie: can't break the glass or turn the steering wheel.

If they really want to get into your car, they will prior a door open in any case, so don't leave valuable things on display.

I want to know if that plug is really for the alarm cause I have one sitting in my garage lol

Orion
11-04-2011, 10:17 PM
The plug is not for the alarm :p

The plug connects to the OBD port under the dash (above the fusebox). The OBD port provides all the information from the engine for the Scangauge to display :)
