FYI:
The Chinese Carsoft clones from eBay DO NOT WORK with LH injection, although they claim it does, and there are menu options for it. I bought two different setups and screwed with them for weeks with my LH cars. It won't show any live data on LH systems, and at best only shows analog codes. It wouldn't communicate with most of the computer systems at all. Total waste of money. You are better off (seriously) with an LED blinker box! I don't know if Carsoft is any better with HFM or not, I didn't have an HFM car to test it on. The Carsoft clones work pretty well on later models with ME injection, or at least quite a few people have reported good results with it.
For the LH cars (1992-1995 models with M119 & M120 engines), the only inexpensive setup I know of that will communicate digitally and show live data is the SnapOn MT-2500 with MB 2003 cartridge & cables. That's what I have, and despite a few annoying bugs, it works well enough for my needs.

Strange that all the cheap multiplexer interfaces have vanished off eBay. None of them mentioned Carsoft, and some didn't even include the software. Weird...
