I'm confused with the different types of loggers there are. I know you can order the software and cable from digitaltuning.com for like $125, but where can i get the palm for it. Please help because i need to get his thing running right.
 
If you use MMCd software (wich is free) you can get a USED Palm for cheap on ebay.

Cable link(a good cable)

Used Palm III link with needed assesories(I'm pretty sure)

(no this isn't my stuff...I'm juse demonstrating how cheaply it could be done. You just have to make sure the Palm (or other PDA) you get is compatible with the software..it has a list on the software website.

Price is a tad cheaper. Shrug. I've been thinking about it..I need to get one yet.
 
You can buy cheap Palm Pilots from KingPDA.com. i just got a m105 (entry level type of palm) for $65 shipped. Stay away from the PalmIII series, they cannot support OS 3.5 which is required to run MMCD or Palm n stien. you can buy logger cables from sources here at dsmtuners. just ask around. i'm not sure if turbolazer is still making them, but you migh PM him. i bought a high quality unit from a manufacturer on EBay. it plugs directly into my Hotsync line (no serial adaptor needed) and clips onto the diagnostic port so there are no loose wires or anything. I paid about $40 for it, but it's well worth it. get yourself a PDA first and then find a cable. A data logger is a must for ANY type of tuning. it's also great for trouble shooting certain conditions associated with our engines. :thumb:
 
I already have a laptop, what cable and software would i need to start tuning.
 
What year is your GSX? If it's a 95 and you have an EPROM ECU then I would highly suggest DSMlink. It will take the place of your logger, AFC/MAFT, and provide a lot more features. Check it out at www.dsmlink.com , it's the only way to go in my opinion.
 
That would be me that couldn't get OS 3.5 to work. maybe the PalmIIxe is slightly different, but i couldn't get the thing to load. PalmOne.com also told me that the upgrade was not possible. Besides, the deal I got on an m105 was better than the outdated Palm III. However, if you have a laptop and an EPROM, then DSMLink is the way to go. If you don't want to fork over the dough for that, just run TMO or Palm n stien (they have a free logger for laptops and palms) The cable will be the same serial port cable that you can use with a palm device.
 
Our new Scanmaster3 is available now it is self contained and does not need a palm or a laptop. You can plug a laptop or Palm into it and use them both it also has an input for a wideband so you can log that too. It is IMO the most powerful tuning tool out there for tuning and it is also package it with a copy of MMcd which is the best Palm based tool I have used

I have the palm m105 and the mmcd software. Can i clear the CEL? if so how do i do that?

Thanks
brian
 
yes you can clear codes. go to the Test or Debug mode (not sure which one it is) it should give you the code your ECU is sending out and you can select and clear the code. not sure if it tells you what the code is for. i (luckily) haven't had to deal with any check eegine codes.
 
Hey, I'de like to get a logger and good software for it, but I don't know much about either of them. I see that most people are using Palm's, and the mmcd software. Also most people recommend a color screen because it makes things easier to read, is this true? I don't mind paying a decent amount for it because I can use it for school as well. Basically what I'm asking is for the best Palm and logging software to act as a logger and where to get both of them. Also take a look at this ebay link and tell me what you think.

Yep the M130 is a good one. A lot of people go for that one because of price and its color. Check my post up farther about the cable. I think that one is a good cable imo because its not just some crappy wires you have to stick in the ecu port an dyou don't have to buy a seperate serial hotsync cable. lots of people use mmcd software..free and as good as any other.
 
For those of you who can't read and directed him toward datalogging cables on ebay for $20, he has a 2G.

I plug my computer right into the ECU, but I also have a 1G with an EPROM :shhh: But I'm special :thumb:

I know this topic is slightly old, but I would like to say MMCD works with the Palm IIIc which I got for $45 on ebay, and it's got a bright color screen!
