OBDII for Sportage

[hotsuma]

Anybody knows what protocol a 2007 Sportage is using or is the OBD connector actually connected?

The CarChip device will not work on this. Will other devices do?

Well, I can give you a bit of info. I just walked out and connected my scanner to my 06. I don't have any active fault codes so the scanner just powered up and read "0" and indicated it was connected. It's the standard OBDII connector under the steering wheel. My scanner is one of those cheap Innova model 3100 handheld units; I bought it about 6 years ago and it's worked with numerous OBDII cars. I doubt Kia could really change the OBDII format much since a lot of states (mine included) use the OBDII port for the emmissions check; they connect it to their computer.

Thanks for the info QDH.

Actually I want to monitor engine performance and my driving.

CarChip could have provide the info I need but it does not work.

I think protocol is different.

Anybody knows other reasonably priced product to monitor engine performance?

Thanks guys
