Morning team,
Has anyone had any success with anything other than scangauge in their Patrols? I have spoken to a couple of people and they all say the scangauge won’t work in the patrol because they are not ODBII compliant and that Nissan use their own protocol.
Apparently there is some software out there that can some how run on my laptop with some cable and then some how show some stats from the management system but I am yet to find any information on that.
Can anyone help?

Hi Troll 81.
You have lofty ambitions! I'd settle for some basic instrumentation for my Landcruiser that showed average fuel usage. I'm still annoyed, 4 years later, that for the amount of money paid for the vehicle I don't have (and can't get) a basic trip computer.
Cheers, Rod

I've just been down this road and have returned my scangauge to seller. It would appear that only the 3L Diesel Patrols are partially OBDII compliant, the scangauge will work quite happily on other Patrol models.
