OBDII (SORRY!!!) bluetooth transmitter

I've been reading a bit lately about these bluetooth transmitters that you can pair with an Android phone and use apps to basically have a dashhawk type interface on, so I went ahead and ordered this one.

Will post up my impressions once I get it and have a chance to play with it.

we don't tolerate technologic advancements here.

Wait so it turns your phone into a vagggcom? That sweeet!

!!!!!! if i can use my phone as a vag-com this will come in handy, ill be watching this thread

goddamn you kids and your fancy phones

Damn u yuppies and your obd II! Im going to use morse code to read my trouble codes!

From what Chris told me about vag com this isn't going to replace it. It's more like a dash hawk on steroids.

One of my teacher Buddies at wcc had something similar with his iPhone and wifi. It's cool! Read fuel trims and everything. I am trying to get Erin to get it for here new iPhone 4.

wtf! that's pretty awesome. android only? :\ i don't want to let go of my SERO plan!!!!

You're still on SERO? It hurt but I had to give mine up when the original Droid came out. Onward and upward!

I know the iPhone/itouch uses wifi obd2 connector and as Phil stated the android uses Bluetooth do sure if you can switch um.

yep can't give up this cheap ass plan! so i'm on a lowly WM touch pro 2.

I like to rock the classics.

pshh no tape recorder.

I ran a data log on the way home and it saved off a google earth data file which I downloaded to my computer and I can see data logs in 1 second intervals for my whole trip. I can even tell when I switched lanes on the freeway.

I've barely scratched the surface though. Gonna spend some time learnin' stuffs on http://torque-bhp.com.

I just put in the mini-cd that came with it and found a file entitled "software instruction.txt". Within it is the following epic text.

"we suggest that you can use "scantool_net113win",if you think that this software isn't easy to use, you can free to choose following software:EasyOBDII,OBD2Spy,ScanMaster-ELM.But them require lisence."

quality goods right thuur!

make of video, of the different thinks you can do with this scanner, so the rest of us have an idea of how cool this must be

The only video camera I have is my phone. So without a complex system of mirrors that isn't going to happen.

(Psst, check youtube)

1 second intervals? are you logging a shit ton of things? can there be more resolution? doesn't seem useful from a tuning standpoint.

That is the interval at which it writes things to the data log file. It's selectable down to 0.1 seconds or up to 5 seconds.

i looked at some videos, this tool doesnt seem to be very useful for a Vag-Com, it only looks like a bunch of different gauges to see, engine speed and pounds of boost, that the car is running
