    Software for what? Operating system? Windows 98? NT? XP?

    Maybe software for payroll?

    Maybe the parts catalogue?

    Or maybe even the service manuals?

    A clear question can be helpful. I'm guessing it'll be either of the
    last two, but who knows.

    As we are talking about cars I thought it was obvious, Not basic end
    user software like manuals or operating systems like dr dos,ms dos 3.1
    windows 95,98 98se,ME,NT XP Linex or MAC ect or book keeping sage etc
    with a gui. The Software used by the dealer to talk to the ECU and BSI
    unit and through them the gagits in the car ,from the windows to radio,
    brakes airbags, fuel in fact every part of any moden car, it can also
    be used for mapping the chip which can help improve MPG BHP etc I hope
    thats clear enough
    Thanks for any help..

  4. I doubt that you'll get hold of the Peugeot software, but do a Google search
    for OBD2 diagnostics and you'll find at least 10 free software packages that
    will enable you to talk to the ECU; you'll need the appropriate hardware of
    course and what software you use will depend on what hardware you have.
    Check out his eBay auction:
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ISO-USB-OBD2-...hZ002QQcategoryZ30921QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem
    for a reasonably priced interface; the auction links to several software
    packages that may do what you want; note that this is an ELM323 based
    interface.
    Good luck,
    Martin.

    Now that wasn't at all clear from your original question. I assumed you
    were talking about the Electronic Parts Catalogue and also the Service
    Guide Software which you get on eBay. I hadn't even thought of the OBD
    diag software.

    As the other guy said - look for various types of OBD software. Not
    used any myself yet so cannot comment on which is best.

    Thanks

    I have seen the name of the software on the net but can't find it now.
    loads of the obd stuff sold on ebay is for the US and is no good for
    the UK ,the eobd thats used for the EU will not read some parts of the
    car just basic codes, its the dealer software I need its easy to use
    like basic windows stuff. The cables you can get on ebay from china

    I believe you need the ISO cables (ELM323?) or universal (EML327) not
    the other ones (CAN,VPW etc). ISO are mainly used by European
    manufacturers it seems.

    That's what I've worked out over the last few days.
