Cool!!!

What does it do?

Its helps when using a blink code reader on older cars. You put the power leads into the red and black sockets, then your test lead goes into the yellow socket relevant to the component you want to test.
So for example socket 4 is LH (engine management), socket 21 is the roof, socket 6 is ABS/ASR and so on.
Then you count the blinks using the blink code reader and it gives you the error code which you then look up. Proper old skool :)

Oh a blink code reader! My '85 Trans Am had that! I was well impressed, never heard of it before that car (I was very young and stupid at the time...)

Car had it's first service. Asked them to look at a couple of additional bits and was very impressed with the little video they gave me of the check. Got servicing free as part of the purchase so I won't dwell on the costs involved with making that little video but do like the 'proof' the checks were done.

With your post count you will have to upload your photo to a hosting site like Photobucket or Flickr and paste the link into your post.

Have a word with Mark or Richard at Comandonline. They are the wizards of retrofit cameras etc on our cars.
