obd bluetooth

[RDS1972]

It seems the within the app, I am supposed to get it to auto select bluetooth, and from a youtube video, it suggests there is a "more" button I can press to open up the options for this. I can't find a way of opening it up at all

mine should be here tomorrow. looking forward to seeibg if i can get it going..

 

[RDS1972]

Sorted!
Finally found that by pressing and holding the bottom right button on the HTC that the menu comes up, and from there it was easy.
Can't wait till tomorrow now

 

[luke2702]

just set mine up and its going to cost me a lot of fuel... lol...

Very good app would def recommend for £15 quid total....

Done a couple of runs in my stock 04 LCR, was getting around 7.6 seconds... Probably could hit the factory figures of 6.9 if I took out the spare and all the junk in the boot. Oh and if I somehow reduced the mileage by about 118k...

So to revive an old thread...

picked up one of these. it'll connect through Bluetooth to my Nexus 4 - but not the iPhone which is actually sort of what I wanted (Harry's Lap Timer pls!)

Anyway - was after something not super expensive that'd work with the iPhone for said app - not just Torque.

Iphone bluetooth stack is far different than an andriod phone.

 

[Mr_Dave]

Yea - I realise. Hence why I'm asking.

 

[LEE69]

Someone tried one for the iphone and it didn't work i have just asked him if he got it sorted.

 

[Mr_Dave]

There are expensive 'certified' devices that're OK - and presumably some WiFi devices would be OK. I had a Kiwi WiFi thing ages ago - which worked, but was unreliable if the phone wasn't in airplane mode.

I'd prefer some cheaper solution for my relatively little planned use though - that's all

He replied no it's still sitting on his window sill lol

 

[Mr_Dave]

Haha - fair enough - cheers.

I'll see what logged data straight from laptimer comes through like - but I'm sure sensor input would be a very good thing

Been told this one works ok http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160939611464
