Look at AutoEnginuity i know that they sell a USB OBD II adapter, but i'm not sure if they sell just the wire. There software is pretty good also.

RE: OBDII to Laptop connection

this is what i have found (quote):

"in theory it sounds great, borrow a copy of the software and buy a cheap cable, just one catch, the cable is not just a cable but a device that polls the OBD2 port. This place sells the Palm and Pocket PC cables, just be ready to fork over some serious dough for it."

i did not click on the link: how much is it?
