obd bluetooth

[lee_woollett]

anyone know how to remove the central air vent? I'm thinking my HTC hero will fit in the space turned on it's side. Just don't want to rip the vent out and break anything.

Do you need to block of the pipework behind the vents? If so how has this been done? I've seen pictures of 2 or 3 guages in place of the vents and I'm wondering if I can fit my phone and a boost gauge in the space.

Just pull the vent hard

I got a good phonecall today,
My insurance company declared my HTC Magic too expensive to repair so they've given me an Xperia X10
A 2 year old android for a relatively new one and my contracts up in feb! Hoping for a tablet for the Car!

don't shout so loud
the x10 is end of life and will no longer be upgraded beyond 2.1

anyone tryed any of the iphone apps, they dont appear compattible with bluetooth obd :/ only the wlan odb things which are all like £90 :/

 

[LEE69]

Probably due to the restrictiveness of the iphone bluetooth.

We are in the starting phases of creating an application thats cross-platform, which should exceed this by a considerable amount. We've found that coding under Android/Windows for the Bluetooth stack is relatively easy.

However coding for iPhone is considerably more difficult, we are concentrating on Android/Windows First.
The moving to Apple afterwards.

keep me in the loop on this one

I could be the TDI tester

 

[CJRamze]

Sure, it'll be a slow process at first,
I'm still thinking of names, I imagine the first build that I send to you for TDI's might not work straight away but you'll just need to email us back the logs and we'll fix it from there.

Petrol will be easy to work with, as I own one so my friend will have my car at his disposal.
Once the site/forums are up and running I'll drop a link on here.
Still thinking of a name at the moment.
Was going to go for OBDRoid but its already taken

 

[MarkWales]

I am only up in Merthyr so popping down to you in cardiff is no hassle at all

which OBD Bluetooth would you suggest?

 

[CJRamze]

We are working off the Cheap OBD2 Bluetooth ones from Ebay at the moment.
My mates got the Blue one, I have the orange one.
Turns out their the same chipsets, one has the lights on the top, the other on the bottom thats the only difference.

[LEE69]

Pretty sure its 1234

 

[adamstreeter]

Pretty sure its 1234

1234 didn't seem to work for me....

mine looks like this;

thanks for any help

 

[CJRamze]

1234 worked fine for me,
You can use any code its only so the phone knows what it is.
Theres no set code
