Hi.I'm looking for a cable for Nissan Data Scan 1.52.I believe my car has OBD II, but this site ( http://202.43.226.57/) told me the car has OBD I. So, I checked my car. There have two connects one is OBD I in the fuse box which is excactly same as a picture displayed by the site. OBD II is outside of fuse box. Which one can I use?Can I use both of them?Inifiniti I30 is same as AUS Maxima A32 (VQ30DE) right?Thanks.

Yes I30 is A32. And you should be able to use both if both are present. 95-96 I believe was the point in time in which OBDII became the preferred and required method of communicating with the car. If you have 96, you most likely have an OBDII ready car.

So... Do I use any type of OBD II cable like this? I have OBD II cable which is used for AUDI A4. I tried to use this cable to my car. It is a light on when I connected on my car, but I think it is not working perfectly. The reason of that a Nissan data scan which is popular software couldn't find ECU on my car. I guess I need to buy another cable.Can I use this one?(http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OBD-II-c ... DVW)Thanks.

I suppose. Do you have a laptop OBDII reader or a all-in-one unit. If you have a laptop reader (like I do) there is a unit that goes in between the laptop and the car to translate or something like that. Sometimes it is just a cable, like whats on ebay, and sometimes there is a actual unit. For 9 dollars, you might as well give it a try, if it doesn't work you are not out much.
