www.akmcables.com for the cable. They used to be fairly expensive, nowadays not so much.

www.ttspowersystems.com for the software. Datamaster is arguably the best (free) program.

After using AKM Cables, ALDL Cable, and Moates I would recommend you go with Moates HANDS DOWN.

If you can find the old Datamaster 3.5.1. and if you run it on windows 7. It does something very VERY special

Datamaster gives you 20 test runs and then requires you to purchase. Version 3.5.1. that I mentioned earlier is older but has a bug that allows unlimited use if you use it with Windows 7.

It's free with the 20 tests, but just uninstall it then reinstall it and you're good.

It will show it in real time once you establish communication with the PCM.
