Default Accessing On Board Computer

I recently bought a used MY '06.

Is an OBD/PC link available for these cars?

With Audis and VW's, I've used VAG COM, which runs on a PC and works great. Supplier is Ross Tech.

With all the Hondas around, is there a similar PC tool for accessing fault codes and reprogramming things? Example; i would like to figure out how to sort out the pass door lock interface, troubleshoot the open door beeper, etc.

TIA,

john

i came from the VW world and used VAG Com. unfortunaly the honda world doesn't have anything as good a Vag Com. there are dealer versions that cost thousands. i bought a OBDII scanner that has the ability to read CAN BUS.

i have a my 2006 S2000 and mine works fine. i have the Innova 3110 and it works fine with my '06.

The best option for an interface is the HIM (Honda Interface Module) from Honda it runs around $750.00. With the HIM and a laptop running Honda's HDS (Honda Diagnostic System) software you can have dealer level access to the car's ECU/PCM. Current versions of the HDS software can be found on ebay for as little as $100.00. So, HIM + HDS + Laptop = Full dealer access.
