I was searching around for a lap top based code reader for use with OBDII compliant ECUs and found some on Scantool.net. Two from OBDlink and one from Elmscan were of interest. The Elmscan 5 is only $39 and the OBDlink SX is currently on sale for $49. Software that supports more elaborate functions beyond basic code reading, resetting and freeze data (i.e. descriptions for the extended code sets) is extra cost.
Does anybody have experience with the use of the OBDlink SX or Elmscan5 on the NSX? I did a search for both terms on the Prime search engine and did not get any hits. I did a web search for both products and I only found one reference to use of either product on a Honda (a Civic) and the posting was inconclusive (did not determine whether the scanner was the problem or set up was the problem). I know that there are other 'professional' lap top based systems available that work well; however, the price of these two is particularly appealing.
