I've got a bluetooth ODBII adapter for my truck. I've been toying with the idea of hooking up a small device to get real time readings and displaying them in my overhead console. The built in BT may come in handy for that.

Nifty idea. If you want, the information is available for the protocol of the messages from Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), and the document is J1978 or J1979 (old brain cells) one is the messages, the other is the scan tool, and I forget which one is which (I was on the committees back in the early 90s when they were being developed, fun times).

I was actually serious about it enough once to download all those docs and look into it. I was gonna use an arduino, but this might be a better option.

You should be able to get enough information to make a kind of performance recorder as well. All sorts of engine information is available like Air/Fuel levels, O2 and knock sensor, as well as engine speed and general sensor readings. The information is not real-real time (can't use it to run the motor), but the data would be current with all the status (including any error conditions or emissions data).

I've got an android app that monitors all that stuff (Torque Lite) , so I've got a good idea what is available.

Thanks for the suggestions,

Mike
