In GM, we used to use Tech2 OBD, it was pretty easy to use & the interface was really simple.

But as my luck is always bad as he was driver with none knowledge about it and owner had sent him to get filled CNG . he told me that it is car scan thingy .

A scan tool is basically a device which reads the data from the ECM through the OBD port. GM calls it Tech 2, Fiat calls it Examiner. Since you are building a Carputer all you need is the OBD II cable. The frontend (Centrafuse) on you PC will do the rest.

I performed a little research on this, and finally reach to conclusion that Scanguage should work on the Hyundai i20. In fact, Scan Gauge’s official website also mentions that it works on all vehicles manufactured from 2008 to 2011. (ScanGaugeII - Compatible Vehicle List) Still, please cross-check with them by dropping an E-mail: scangauge@linear-logic.com.
