the vx v6 is ALDL, you'll need an ALDL cable/interface rather than an OBDII cable (although the socket looks identical.)

If your talking V8/LS1 the you need a commercial software package. The common elms on ebay wont do it.

For something local flick antus a PM and he can hook you up with one.

Be careful buying off ebay, the sellers generally dont offer much support and will just send you a link to these forums :lol:
