Hi.
I received my OBD2 today (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWNX%3AIT)
It connect well to Carman, seems to work (leds are flashing, red, orange, green), but nothing happens on the screens:
It's for my 2004 Subaru Legacy 3.0r SpecB...
Any idea?

Have you tried starting the engine? Although it should not be necessary, in my Renault Scenic 2000 it would report strange and fluctuating values before starting the engine.
On my Ford Fiesta 2001 it works well even with the engine stopped...

Just to report that I bought this device on eBay and works fine with Carman. The code is 1234.

The only thing I don't like too much is that it is quit long (about 7 cm).

My only "concern" is what I mentioned in this post: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=193
But it's IMHO more a car problem than a device problem.

Hi,
I did a clean install of PR1.3. I'm installing all my fav bits but carman reports broken packages.
Is this something I need to change on my end or is it a PR1.3 thing?
As always thanks for your help.
Mark.
