I have a Honda Integra Ti '99 (steering wheel at the right) JDM import car .

I'm thinking of buying a Palm Dyno scan unit

They say, the OBDII is found in cars 96+ , but I looked everywhere , under the driver dash / passenger dash , I only see a mess of wires , but nothing that looks like a connector or a something simmilar .
Does anyone knows where should I look ? what color is it ?

LoL , it's a silly question , but hey it's a problem

under the center console on the passenger side how much is that scan tool ? i was thinking on either buying the snap on solus ($3500) or just get a obd2 scanner like you are talking about from matco ($450)

3500$ ? damn

Dyno scan costs ~250$ minus the price of the PDA . the pachage includes the connecting wire , and the software for the PDA.

EDIT: I looked under the center console on the passenger side and I still dont find anything. Everything seems to be connected to something else .
I only found a green plug on the left side of the passenger's side (thats the opposite side where the dash is , note it's a right hand drive car) .

jdm cars don't have them. only usdm cars.
jdm cars are obdI configuration. so it only has the 3 pin diagnostic port and a 2 pin service connector. which is behind the dash above the ecu.

its on the side of the passenger dash by there feet. its by the left foot of the passenger.

so the scan tool won't work for me .
I was so thrilled about measuring stuff myself without the overpriced 100CYP (that's 200$) fee to take it to a garage

how accurate is it?

esponet

if the only way it would hook up and read the ecu is by usdm obdII diagnostic port, then it will not work on your jdm car.
cause you only have a 3 pin diagnostic port. same as usdm obdI diagnostic port. you might want to ask them if they have a adaptor or will it work on jdm cars.

upon reading more information on this item i have decided to buy it anyone who has a obd2 car cant go wrong investing in this tool i bought mine for 199.00 for the model that can read CAN & OBD2 the PDA i am buying is a Sony Clie that i found at a local computer store for 99 bucks so for 300 bucks i have a dyno and a scanner .... the dyno may not be accurate in HP compaired to a standard dyno but think about it this way you can see what your gains are with aftermarket accories without spending money visiting a real dyno....
