I was just on the blaZt website checking out their prices: * RS232 Nissan OBD cable + Datascan USD $95.50 * USB Nissan OBD + Datascan USD $114.50 * Datascan USD $33.50 * USB to RS232 serial converter USD $46 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On eBay a NISSAN Consult Diagnostic Interface Tool sells for $12.99 and looks sturdier than the blaZt. Also on eBay the USB to RS232 Serial 9Pin Cable Adapter sells for $3.21 shipped. Questions: 1. Am I missing something here?2. Doesn't the eBay tool appear to be better built than the blaZt?3. Will the blaZt do something better or more than than the eBay tool? I am told that a there's only one particular serial to USB converter chipset that will work with the serial Consult adapters.
I would avoid the serial interface adapter and buy the one that is made with a USB output if you are wanting to use it with a computer that only accepts USB inputs. For some reason I like the looks of this one, but I don't have any experience with it. Good price though, and he has the 'make an offer' option - so you might be able to get it for less.

I see that the pic that you posted has 2 connectors inside. It seems that there is a connector missing that would connect to the computer side. Where did you find that pic?
I can't seem to find the site where I got that pic from. I've searched for the last 30 mins and no luck. If I find it later on, I'll post the website.

Doesn't the eBay tool appear to be better built than the blaZt?3. Satin Panthers Ep Rarest. Will the blaZt do something better or more than than the eBay tool?1. Yes, shipping cost. Blazt is $15USD, wouldnt be surprised if you're ebay chinese one was $20-30 to make up the difference to the $40 or whatever the others sell for.
Plms is also another $20 or something with fees and shipping. Ecutalk listed price is inclusive of postage and everything (and AUD so about 80% in USD due to exchange rate) 2. Bigger/less convenient, moulded (not genuine) consult connectors, circuit big enough to be hand soldered (more likely to have errors/issues than machine soldered), and maybe the biggest thing no one realises - the body of their box sticks out from the consult port and digs holes in ur knee. They also dont test the cables at manufacture/assembly, and most ebay resellers dont tes them either (they sometimes arrive dead or not wired right). Pretty sure all ecutalk/blazt/plms ones are tested after being made so much lower defect rate 3. If they all work then they all have the same purpose/funtionality, theyre all made for same software etc to do same thing. In the end, if u cant afford an ecutalk/plms/blazt one id roll the dice with one of the chinese ones, assuming you dont want to use it too often and can otherwise deal with the box sticking out of the consult port area (or if ur lucky, your consult port isnt attached to fuse box so you can do something about it).
If it happens to not work it may take a while for it to be returned and u sent another etc, but it is definitely the cheapest route to go. The first one i bought blew a capacitor and started smoking as soon as i turned it on, but ive read of many people who have used them fine (and circuit itself looks ok). Ive briefly used the 'ch430/hl-340/r430' or whatever that green usb/serial converter is known as, and it seemed to work fine. Didnt use it long enough to see if it worked consistently/for hours, but i think it would be fine to use.
Note the one listed with ecutalk (as pictured above) is quite short cable, about 1-2ft or something, definitel not as long as the one pictured after it. Im not sure if they are then different cables and have different internals etc. Search for a111 usb on ebay is the one with the ecutalk. Modified by NewKleer at 10:57 AM 7/19/2009.
