I used to own two canscan (usb) that I hooked up to my laptop.

This time around I decided to try the palm version. You can buy a color palm pilot on ebay for under $50. Black and white ones can be bought for $0.99 (I actually paid that much for a m125).

Anyway, I made a quick video of how the canscan works in conjunction with a PDA.

I don't work for them, just showing off my toys

Is having this of any use besides being able to diagnose your car for troubleshooting purposes?

If you're tuning your car, you can make use of it, though you're likely better off going with a real wideband sensor and tuning off of that.

The car's sensor is calibrated for a specific AFR range, outside of that range, it's not going to be as accurate.
