OBD II Bluetooth

I got this in the mail today. Only cost me $26 shipped.


Anybody using one of this? I got android phone and I got the software downloaded for free and hooked it up works like a charm. Logs and send e-mail in three different formats. Pretty fast.

So, it logs against time, or can you choose what axis/parameter to log against, such as timing vs RPM?


Can it log cam timing vs RPM?

Speed vs time?

And print out logs?

Pretty sweet if so.

I see a 1 second frequency, semi fair, but 1/10 would make it way cooler.

I just got this device, and trynna get it to work with my HTC EVO, however I can get it to work on a lincoln continental 99, lexus gs300 99, but on my 97 maxima it does not connect, says connecting to obd interface, then when connected it looses connection and tries to reconnect. Also using Torque.

How do you go about hooking yours up? what PIN did you put when you Paired through bluetooth?

They have them at http://www.dealextreme.com/ I really thought these loggers were common knowledge? There's a whole thread on obd software for laptops that's at least 2 years old.

I connected my 97 gxe 5sp California Spec and it was terrible. Refresh was sooooooo slow, almost unusable for real-time tracking. It's fine for snapshots though. I think it would refresh every 3-5 seconds. Plugging into newer Nissans gave faster refreshings.

Have fun with your new toy! Be careful with cops, they can pull u for distracting interior, kinda like how indiglo dials were illegal. But then again, so is mounting GPS to windshields, and operating those while driving. Illegal, but nobody gets pulled for those, yet talk or text, and you're spending 20min on the side of the road with Mr Law Enforcement. Weird...

I have this same device. I use with my PC (gotta have Bluetooth on it) with a program called OBDCrazy and another called CarPort.

I also use it on my Windows Phone using an app called CarDash (similar to Torque on Android) and works perfect. I swapped to 95 ecu. I did notice on either my phone or pc that it always drops connections and I have to try several times to get it to work but it works PERFECTLY fine on my 2k Jeep and 08 Saturn Vue. Weird... Questions.. What are you using to log on your PC? Thanks
