Gary I am just getting this setup in my laptop. Need the driver installed and cable. The older build your own cables could be "bricked", can I avoid this by purchasing the $60 cable from aldl.com? Or should I not worry about it because the older cables are no longer being shipped? Just trying to keep it simple.
I also am really looking forward to troubleshooting an ABS light and getting some data logs to my tuner. This has had to have taken a lot of work, thank you for your time and effort, mucho appreciated!

Red Devil River is another good source for a safe cable.

Are you talking about cutting off the 12-pin or 16-pin connector and using that? Or are you talking about using the entire Innova cable? I have no idea how the Innova cable is configured. You would have to investigate that. The only pins needed for the 12-pin connector (year 94) are A and M. The only pins needed for the 16-pin connector (year 95) are 4/5, and 9. You can buy a cheap 12-pin cable to use for about $5 or a cheap 16-pin connector to use for about $3.

An OBD-1 scanner has a 12-pin connector. The correct cable for Scan9495 will have a 12-pin connector. Your 94 has a 12-pin connector. You don't need an "adapter".

Probably. Cut off the 16-pin connector, and use the 12-pin connector and short pigtail for the new cable.
