| arlen holder <arlen@arlen.com>: Dec 25 08:27PM Merry Christmas! What would be your OBDII hardware + Android/iOS freeware recommendation? I do OBDII the old-fashioned way, where, someday, it would be nice, I think, to have a free app with a universal paid-for transmitter. Do you know of a good price-to-performance cross-platform-compatible transmitter that can transmit to both Android & iOS OBD receiver freeware? I don't know the best cross-platform price-to-performance tradeoffs. I would guess... o ELM (or something similar most likely) transmitter (most likely BT?) o iOS/Android freeware, most likely open source as the receiver & display What would be your OBDII hardware + Android/iOS freeware recommendation? |

It's pretty much all garbage and the screen on your cellphone is too small to see more than one plot at a time. If you're looking at multiple signals and trying to correlate them (say looking at the MAP signal vs. the O2 sensor voltage) you can't. Bite the bullet, spend the money, get a proper system with good vendor support for your car. I could recommend a system that is very good for Mercedes but it won't necessarily have good support for the Ford commands. Either get a standalone system or one that will work on a laptop with a big enough screen that you can see what you're doing. >I don't know the best cross-platform price-to-performance tradeoffs. Check the vendors, find someone who has support for your car and look at the list of available signals. Look at the ones with the longest list. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.
