Where to buy datalogging cable?

Try to hit up Shiver on 3si. Do a search for him and his logging cables as I am unsure if that is the correct way to spell it. Ask if he still has a plethora of cables lying around. I ended up getting my obdI from him for 25 bucks IIRC I believe it is the same one from here

That was a while ago, but I PM'd him to see if he is still willing to let them go for $25... I will see if he is willing to do a "group rate" if he's not still doing $25... I found them for 26 Euro plus shipping on one site... I think it comes out somewhere @ $40 US after shipping...

If you guys hold out, I am going to get to work at making a cable myself, and if it works out cost wise on my end, I will try to make a few for $25 plus shipping... give me till Monday to do some R&D

Right on. His cable rocks, BTW. I love it...just wish I could find one of that quality that mates to my palm without losing connection....grrrrr

Hmm, that might not be the cable though...

Looks like sourcing the actual 12 pin connector is going to be the tricky part. It's actually a Hyundai 12 pin connector, but finding where to purchase some is the problem... which would lead to doing the spade connectors... which does not bother me, but I know most guys probably want the OBD1 connector on there... And I'm sure there are a lot of guys who are saying "this is old news." LOL

Edit: P.S. I am still waiting to hear back from Chris to see if we can get a deal on his OBD1s...

I'm using spade connectors right now and it sucks. It works but not the greatest solution. I had to close the connectors up a little to stay on the pins. The one that you short to ground would go to the next pin and touch it, killing my speedo. It's amazing how fast you can go 0-60 when it's a short. Lol

Yeah I have the same issue! I'm wondering if you can convert from usb to connect the cable to the cradle as it won't disconnect like the small POS.

Or I might see if I can super glue some sort of pivot lock to secure the back of the plug to the palm...
