Garmin OBD2 Reader

Thu May 26, 2011 5:14 am

Hi guys

If you REALLY serious about fuel consumption figures and a few more details of whats going on in the motor, Garmin has an OBD 2 plug reader with Bluetooth connectivity to a GPS unit.

Looks like a nice toy....
Especially the engine codes etc

Only issue seems to be availability / support in SA.

Who has the connections to establish price Etc?

This is an alternative, seeing as though you are already using an iPhone.

Be sure that your Paj is OBD-II compliant before purchasing any OBD-II device. My 2006 DiD model does not seem compliant. It's got the right plug, but my OBD-II reader is unable to communicate with the ECU of the Paj. :(

The reader works fine on my Audi A4, though!

Only American Pajeros and those made after 2009 (iirc) will be OBDII compliant. All others only support MUT-II/III. The actual plug is the same, so don't be fooled if you manage to plug the OBD-II device in.
