Description These are the original (and we firmly believe THE BEST) Consult cables. These have the most stable connection and are the most compatible with virtually all Consult software.

The USB cable part can easily be replaced if need be. We've found that this is the most likely part to fail on high mileage cables. We've used a common USB printer cable ('USB A' on the laptop end and 'USB B' on the other end) so replacement is cheap and easy. Users can also replace it with a different length if the standard 2m length is unsuitable. The cables connect between the USB port of a laptop and the Consult Port of Nissan vehicles. There's a small circuit board close to the Consult port which converts the data.

On eBay a NISSAN Consult Diagnostic Interface Tool sells for $12.99 and looks sturdier than the blaZt. Also on eBay the USB to RS232 Serial 9Pin Cable Adapter sells for $3.21 shipped. Jun 29, 2018 - Total $120AUD Distributors (normal cable only, no OBDII plug option): UK/Europe buyers, you may wish to buy from - around £75-85 shipped.

For general diagnostic work we recommend using Datascan software which allows various diagnostic functions to be accessed. See below for details. For real-time tuning our cables can be used with NIStune software.

The design has been tested on a list of vehicles which is always growing. As a rule, if your car has the grey Consult connector (you'll usually find it below the steering wheel or near the fusebox in the driver's kick panel) and was built between 1990 - 2000 then it will work. Some cars that missed out were the A31 Cefiro RB20 and anything with a CA18. These vehicles do NOT use the Consult system. After 2000 Nissan started going to Consult II. Many of them still use the same consult connector but the protocol is different.

Our cables are designed, built and tested in Australia by qualified, experienced personnel. Each cable is tested on a Nissan ECU before shipping.

Hello everyone, like many people I'm relatively new to arduino - done several tutorials a couple of my own projects (fan controller for my car, an alarm clock, servo control stuff - just random stuff like that ) but I'm having some issues with my current project and hoping maybe someone can offer some insight to why things aren't working like I think they should. Tokheim quantium 510 manual pdf. I'm not sure if my problem is software library stuff (which I admit I don't totally understand). Basically, there's a consult library out there provided by a user named Crim - he claims it works with his arduino and an LCD screen (at least it did at one point). He's been off here for a couple of years and I'm working on something similar and trying to use his (slightly modified) library.

There's also some info on the Nissan Consult interface provided by PLMS Development about address requests that return certain values. The link to his library is: The link(s) to the PLMS info is: http://www.plmsdevelopments.com/diy_consult.htm. It is using off the shelf software (ECUTalk, Conzult, a couple others). If one of these programs were open source maybe I could decipher how to read/write from the ECU, but I can't find any that are.

As for programming on the PC - i have zero experience with most PC programming, especially when it comes to hardware input/output. The arduino is actually a little easier for me, since I did have a C+ class back in college. I'm not good by any means, but at least part of the time I can understand the code. There have been a few other posts on here about this exact topic, and the ones I have found have kind of died without a resolution ever coming about (or if the problem/program was resolved, they never posted back)- so there is a chance people out there are trying the same thing or have done the same thing. I have seen videos on youtube of people using an arduino to communicate with their nissan Consult interfaced ECU, but unfortunately non of those videos post a link to source code, or the link is dead, and archive.org can't bring it back.

Someone out there has done this successfully, I just need to find who. Any help anyone can give would be awesome.

I'm even willing to donate some $$ for some help. Time isn't cheap, and for someone who isn't interested to look through libraries, code, and protocol to figure out why it's not working and how I can make it work is a lot to ask. Robtillaart - I'm pretty sure you are correct about it not actually initializing. After fiddling with it some last night, I don't think it actually looks for the correct response - it just looks for anything on the RX line.
