Nissan Diagnostic tool - Data Cartridge
« on: October 07, 2019, 05:52:13 am »
Thought i'd share with you something interesting i found today. I recently got a Nissan Consult Diagnostic unit, not the eBay $10 one, the original real deal Nissan Dealer gear for Pre-2000 vehicles. It uses a PCMCIA card size cartridges with a 1x38 pin interface (instead of the 2x34 pin for PCMCIA) and when opened up, it reveals some exposed die storage attached directly to the PCB with bond wires and all visible (and not encapsulated at all). Beautiful ! Literally held together with very thin double sided tape.

In time i'd like to extract the data from the card(s) to be able to provide a resource to other enthusiasts as these cards are hard to get, and the later versions / updates are even harder to get and often very very expensive. Depending on the features and the year model of the car it may require a specific card for certain diagnostics. Very interesting (to me at least).
