Vehicle diagnostics with LV?

Has anyone ever tried to link up a PC running LV to either the BMW or
Vauxhall diagnostics ports? (engine, auto gearbox or ABS). I believe these
are serial interfaces.
I have always wanted to examine the parameters in 'real-time' for
tuning/fault-finding purposes, but have never had accesss to the proprietry
hardware.
Any help or links would be of great interest.
tia,
JB

John,

I think they use CAN or a variant (CANOpen, etc.).

Regards,

Wiebe.

There are CAN interfaces which ar accessible through LabVIEW.
Gratronics makes a parallel port version which has LabVIEW drivers.
They are at http://www.grantronics.com.au/lawicel.html. Do a web
search on "Controller Area Networks"
