There's an article and likely a kit out next month.

You may find this site interesting - I seem to remember there is a list somewhere and that they are talking about self build jobs.
Not much use of a TD BX!

To see whether your Xantia uses OBD take a look at the socket in the fuse box. If its like the plug shown in the link picture then it more than likely does.
As a rough guide, MK 1 models generally don't whereas MK 2 do.

Don't take the OBD-II plug for granted.
My mom's 406 (12/99) has it and the C5 too, but they are not compatible with OBD-II, the pins and protocols are propietary.[:(]
It works on Vauxhall, though [:)](Frontera 2.2DTI)

There are a number of different standards for OBD-II, non of them compatable with one another and using differing pin-outs on the same plug.

As i said, itdoesn't work. i have the ELM ISO chip/board and software, but it's useless on the C56and 406.

There is another place I found doing diagnostics stuff.
http://obddiagnostics.com/
They use a different chip.
And another site has another scan tool, but I don't know which chip it uses.
