Collating my finds in this thread... Saves me losing any info

Good thread here http://www.rs25.com/forums/f72/126475-l ... ay-17.html The guy has developed some software called ECU Tracker - Alpha version just released on android market.

He reckons OBDKey is the only BT device at the moment that will transmit the SSM protocol - which transmits data way faster than OBD2!

Yes ECU Tracker does looks very promising .

OBD-Key wireless - yes after I posted I checked the price - way out of my league now!

So I guess this may be the answer - I hope we hear back from OBD-Key soonish.

After doing some Googling during lunch today for OBD-Key, I found a thread on the MP3Car.com forum that talks about OBD-Key, SSM and Subaru's which looks very promising. There also appears to be an OBD-Key'er there as a member sinclairvital.

I think I'm going to go with their bluetooth model, however I'm still hesitating as I want to try my father's spare Scanguage which is at the right price (free) before I spend proper money...

[Jubaeg]

After some further Googling, I made the somewhat belated realisation that there was no point in using a scanguage as it can't read SSM either.

So I have just ordered the OBD-Key bluetooth module.

I'd imagine that it will arrive towards the end of the week, so will post an update in about 7 days time.

Cool...

Let us know how it pans out...

I have sent a second email to OBDKey - but still no response

I got the VAG-COM cable yesterday - tested with FreeSSM - seems to work OK - not alot you can do with that as far as I can see...

I was put on to Rom Raider http://www.romraider.com/ by LegacyDan - looks interesting but quite complicated - need some time to larn up about it before I start messing I guess Stuff with a laptop sat on the passenger seat isn't really what I was aiming at though

I tested the ELM327 with Torque on a mates BMW Z4 M yesterday - pretty cool some bits didn't work - but loads of info coming through, dials operating etc so the Unit is good!

Cheers Dan

[legacydan]

did you get it sorted and working?

[Graphite]

No mate - beautiful day today been outside messing with my seats

[Jubaeg]

I should have an update in about 12 or 18 hours on the OBDkey as I believe it was delivered yesterday to the post office as I was at work so I'll post some experiences soon!

[Jubaeg]

Nothing too exciting to report I'm afraid - it appears that OBDKey don't provide you with the SSM tweak in the included software and you have to ask for it so I'm waiting for them to respond which will be overnight hopefully.

I tried it firstly with Windows using their software and then Android (their OBDKey software and Torque software) but no luck so far.

Frustrating

[legacydan]

Can u connect with your laptop and obd2 cable with romraider or learning view?

[Jubaeg]

I've given up for the moment and will wait to hear back from OBDKey.

I only purchased the Bluetooth module so in answer to your query:

can establish a bluetooth connection with both Windows PC and Android with no issues.

on Windows established that the bluetooth port was serial port 14

tried the ODBKey software, ECUExplorer software and both could link to the device and would basically say that they could see 3 sensors or something but whatever those sensors were they didn't result in anything showing

assumed that the issue was that the ECU needs to have SSM enabled

after a bit of googling established that what I needed to do was to connect via a terminal to the OBDKey and send it the command "ATSPC", I got Putty going and set the serial port to 14 and then sent the command.

"ATSP0" will reset the OBDKey to factory default which is the auto setting and "ATZ" will reset the OBDKey
See thread 7 of[urlhttp://www.mympgtracker.com/support/lbf/topic/9/[/url]

after doing this I then had another go with Windows and then Android - Android being the OBDKey app and the Torque app and didn't have any further success with either

Admittedly I did this after about 9PM last night and then at 5AM this morning and so I probably wasn't thinking too straight and was getting agitated.

I'm coming to the conclusion that I may have to give up on the dream of a bluetooth device being able to wirelessly and effortlessly connect and do everything.

I also borrowed my fathers Ultraguage (some kind of scanguage) and had a bit of a tinker as well but had no luck.

So not a lot of success at all.

Will regroup at some point and investigate romraider and see how that one goes.

[Jubaeg]

I should also apologise to Graphite for gradually hijacking your thread, and thanks to Dan for your thoughts.

Probably won't get a chance to tinker again with this till the weekend.
