Only poorly programmed software (which some of the older stuff may be) wont be able to handle the slightly higher response time of a quality usb/serial converter (i.e. FTDI) over a native serial port. All nissan consult software i know of works fine with a usb/serial port - since the native USB cables (i.e. Ecutalk, blazt, plms) are all.

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.

Yes, shipping cost. Vedomostj kontrolya za racionom pitaniya shkoljnikov obrazec zapolneniya. 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). Nadodi kadhal tamil movie download. Pretty sure all ecutalk/blazt/plms ones are tested after being made so much lower defect rate 3.
