Topic: Mazda IDS
I'm working on a new project and the base car is a Mazda that uses the CAN bus and other newfangled electronic gizmos.
I did some digging and it looks like I need the Mazda IDS software to interface with my computer and send commands to the car to reset thing and whatnot. My question is is there an alternative to the $1000 a year subscription to Mazda ISD. I happy to spend some money, but I'm not forking over $1k a year for a tool I uses maybe once every other month at best.
Anyone know of anything? I'm going to assume there is not a "Home Mechanic" that version of the software.
