The Sony Clie series was one of our favorite PDAs until Sony decided to stop making them. If you can find one, however, they are great PDAs. They have a unique clamshell style body where
you can access a small keyboard (which isn’t very important for OBD2PDA but very nice for other applications). The top half of the clamshell pivots and folds together so that the PDA looks
and acts like a traditional PDA. The screen is great, one of the largest and highest resolution screens on the market. It comes with lots of cool software (primarily designed for consumers, so there
is a good MP3 player and a good video viewer). It’s a pity Sony decided not to continue to make them.

The simplest way to connect to an OBD scan tool is to use a serial cable that connects to
the bottom of the PDA. Here is a picture of the serial cable you need. It also has a cigarette adapter that you can use to power the PDA, which saves the batteries. You can
get this cable from our favorite cable supply source, The Supply Net. Click
