Hi,
We noticed a trend with our competitors; high shipping cost and hidden handling fees.
- One big corporation charges $ 20.00 for shipping one Male or Female connector.
- An other competitor just introduced a $ 5.00 hidden handling fee.
- A tuner car website is selling a Female connector for more then $ 25.00.
Here at Carplugs.com we will not be undersold.
We know that in these times, it’s very hard to keep prices low with higher and higher shipping cost from USPS, Canada Post Corporation, UPS and FedEx but we try harder to keep cost low, even if our profit margin is shrinking.
Thanks,
Mario

And a J1939 9-pins Deutsch Y Cable ( one female j1939 to male j1939 and DB15 male.
http://www.carplugs.com/Product_view_Cables_14.html
Here is a brief summuray of the J1939 standard:
SAE J1939 has been adopted widely by diesel engine manufacturers. One driving force behind this is the increasing adoption of the engine Electronic Control Unit (ECU), which provides one method of controlling exhaust gas emissions within US and European standards. Consequently, SAE J1939 can now be found in a range of diesel-powered applications: vehicles (on- and off-road), marine propulsion, power generation and industrial pumping.
Applications of J1939 now include off-highway, truck, bus, and even some passenger car applications.
SAE J1939 can be considered the replacement for the older SAE J1708 and SAE J1587 specifications.

Hi,
I’ve been asked this question several times:
Does an obd-II program exists for the Iphone?
And now I have an answer : Yes
Check out this website : http://devtoaster.com/products/rev/index.html
Here’s another iPhone application that demonstrates that soon there is nothing you won’t be able to know if you have just one device. DevToaster has created an app called Rev that reads information straight from the OBD-II port on your car and displays it on your iPhone. When it’s fully operational, Rev can display things like vehicle speed, RPM, fuel consumption, calculated engine load, and a host of other parameters. You’ll even be able to check and reset engine and error codes.
And also check out my bluetooth wireless Obd2 Scanner:

Carplugs is now selling the Ford Enhanced Diagnostics Add-on.
The Ford enhanced diagnostics add-on supports all Ford, Lincoln, & Mercury vehicles from 1996 – 2008. In addition to giving you the ability to read and clear codes on powertrain, ABS, airbag, transmission and other proprietary systems, it also adds thousands of new parameters and sensors for both gasoline and diesel vehicles.
If you are the owner of an independent service or repair facility then you know that good tools can mean the difference between being able to find and fix the problem, or having to send the customer elsewhere. With generic only OBD-II scan tools you often cannot service some vehicle systems like ABS, airbag, or other proprietary systems. Using our ScanXL™ Ford Enhanced Diagnostic Add-on, you now have access to dealer-level diagnostic capabilities for not only the powertrain systems, but also ABS, airbag, and other proprietary systems that would otherwise require expensive dealer tools to work with.
Supported OBD-II protocols: J1850 (PWM and VPW), ISO-9141, and ISO-14230 (KWP2000), and ISO-15765 (CAN).
ScanXL Ford Enhanced Diagnostics Add-on can only be used with the ScanXL software.
The ScanXL software must be purchased before the Ford Enhanced Diagnostics Add-on can be used.
~ ScanXL Ford Enhanced Diagnostics Add-on is for use exclusively with the ElmScan 5 family of scan tools. ~
1996 is the year the OBD-II system was standardized for passenger vehicles sold in the United States. In Europe, this was standardized in 2001 for gasoline vehicles and 2004 for diesel passenger cars. Please verify that your vehicle is OBD compliant before purchasing.
