T4 interface cable query

errol1 · 4th August 2015, 18:07

Does this require a specific cable or can I use a CAT5 to OBD generic cable type?

It's a hardware unit with lots of different cables, please don't tell me you bought one of those T4 laptops from eBay!

Nope, no purchases from eBay, just thinking if I can duplicate the cable and connectors myself, would need a wiring diagram or an actual cable to use as a reference point.

Thanks for the info!

Grins like an idiot

Think I'll put that idea to bed

Some ideas seem so simple when in the pub!

Thanks Phil

Wheres the best place to purchase a T4 setup?

Seen it on workshop direct for £2695 + VAT, seems reasonable?

I get the point about all the cables now!!
