f1anatic Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 http://www.tactrix.com/index.php?cPath=23_28_38 I need to buy a tactrix cable since my efforts to make my own data logging cable have failed thus far. I do NOT need to flash my car - just to feed data in my CarPC. I have no interest in ever flashing the car with OpenECU tools either. Which cable to buy for my 2005 Subaru Legacy GT 5MT ? Please assume I know shit about Tactrix. Do I buy OpenPort for Subaru Drive-by-wire vehicles or Do I buy OpenPort for Subaru WRX and Drive-by-wire vehicles do I need some other connector ? Thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal2You Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 You only need the cable itself. So order the $79 part in the first link. The second link has the same cable, but also includes adapters we don't need for the LGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark-V Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I'd vote for waiting until the OpenPort 2.0 cable comes out. It's got standalone datalogging to a MicroSD card. And a few more features. Should be available the 31st of July. Well it's on the website now. It's a bit pricey, but for what you can do, it seems worth it. http://www.tactrix.com/product_info.php?cPath=23_28_38&products_id=49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPLGT Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I bot a cheap VAG COM cable at first but had no luck with it...the pins were off. A lot of people were able to use it, just not be. I sucked it up and bot the $79 real deal...recevied it really fast....I highly reccd you take this route as it will save you time and it will work. GL Rehab is for quitters.

eqt2010 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I think $169 is pretty reasonable for the new cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1anatic Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 Thank you all for the advice. i will go with the 80 dollar one. I do not need to datalog to a microcard when I have a carpc . And really, I have an AP1, just that the connector is bulky and i hit it with my foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z28dreams Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Any other advantage to the new cable coming out? I already have a laptop, so I really don't need to log it to a microSD card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
