Thanks, Tim. Do you know if the OBD scan tools like yours will be obsolete with CAN equipped vehicles, or will they still work (without the extra features)?

the ODB scan tools work fine on a CAN equipped car.

The elise is a CAN equipped car, and i can connect my Autoxray 500 scanner to it and it works fine.

I tried it a few days back, i also took the gas cap off and got the check engine light on, the scanner got the code and i cleared it.

Vince, Did you mean the Autoxray 5000? I can't find the model 500. I went to their website and model 5000 is specifically compatible with CAN. So that still leaves the question whether an OBD-II scanner (or software) will work with the Elise.

Sorry i meant the Autoxray 5000, yes its CAN compatable. but any cheapo ODB-II scanner will work on the car. Kragen has one for $99 and it will work fine to read the codes, it just doesn't give you live data from the enginee.
