Default 1995 OBDI with OBDII port?

Aside from a laptop with tuning software, what can you use to scan codes on a 95 ODBI car? Is there a like a pigtail/crossover adapter for this pain in the ***-one year crap?

Its not one year crap, the OBD II 16 pin connector has been used since 95 and is very common. Just go to a site like www.aldlcable.com order one, and start datalogging.

You can use tunerpro, datamaster, freescan, pcmscan, etc to datalog...

It's still OBD I, nothing special there. Just has a 16 pin connector.

I know the OBD II 16 pin has been in use since 95, but only in 95 does it have the 16 pin on a OBD I system. And Im trying not to go the route of getting a aldl cable/laptop program (read first post). Im just trying to read some codes. I know I could just go to autozone or something like that, but the ones ive gone to just have OBD II scanners with the 16 pin (and cant read my OBD I) or have the OBD I 12 pin that can hook up to my OBD II 16 pin. Is this making any better sense?

Yeah makes sense now. You need an adapter.
