Default Need a obd2 to usb cable..asap

I am hoping you guys can help me. I am running an 03 4.8L on a dyno and I need some way of connecting the dynomax software in with the obd2 data.

What is the best bang for the buck for cable (and or cheap software package)? I see a few on ebay for around $50-70

Need to order this like tonight or tomorrow. thanks

I happen to have one that is brand new never been used from hptuners. Its in the box and ready to ship. Of course its not usb but you can hook it to a computer.
(scroll to bottom) I have both of those cables. pm me and we'll work a deal.

EFILive Scan only cables can be had for $250 or less... But I'm not so sure what you're going to find that will tie in with the dynomax software...

dynomax offers a cable for $200 but I am just looking for a cheaper alternative. I was under the impression that any cable would work but are they generally specific to the software they are being used with?

I would almost bet that you have to use the Dynomax cable for it to work. There is most likely some sort of convert box that converts the data from the pcm into something that the software program can use, unless your just needing a cable to go from the OBDII port to a serial port on the converter box.
