I doubt it.

DISCLAIMER: I'm no T-LINK expert. I don't even own a copy of it (yet).

Even if you could cobble together a working set of cables to attach to the port on the car, I doubt you could get the program to run. They have that goofy version of windows they throw on PDA's and it is mostly incompatible with regular windows.

Now, if Ken recompiled his program to run on the PDA you might be able to get it to work that way. Have to ask him about that...

It's even more complicated than that ... Windows CE /PocketPC isn't really very close to standard Windows.

The gauge controls, the communications, the internal architecture (we use XML and COM) all need to be addressed in the software.

We hope to get some cycles to start that project soon, but it'll be several months of development.

i did see something on ebay that worked on a pda. i don't remember what it was called or if would even work for us.

There are a couple of OBDII tools that run on PDAs, but as far as I know, no OBDI tools (like TurboLink).
