Just needing a simple idea/question answered OBDII and K-Pro

Post by Team KLR »

I was wandering if anyone could explain to me why it is not possible to run a "K-Pro" type of system for the OBD2 cars. What is the difference that allows the ease of communication that the K-Pro systems offer, and just not able to use at all with the OBD2 ecu's?

The K pro is made for ECU's that have a flash programmable chip. The OBD2 ecu's on civics and integras before 01 don't have flash programmable ecu's. they are EEPROM's that are surface mounted. Hondata adds a USB port to the K series ECU's to download the new software to it. You can't do that with just any of the OBD2 ecu's.
