OBD Link
[QUOTE=Macster;255386]This forum has been good to me, so I wanted to return the favour and do a little write up on my experience with the Torque app on my HTC smart phone and bluetooth transmitter hooked up to the Pajero NW.
Well Done Macster.
I am now also an owner of the OBD LINK MX thanks to you. http://www.scantool.net/obdlink-mx.html
I also purchased the Torque Pro app as the app that comes with the OB LINK MX although good has some limitations. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.prowl.torque&hl=en
The combination with the two is brilliant. The applications and use is simple and allows for incredible flexibility.
I also bought the Mitsubishi Fault Code app to assist if I have any issues. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.irexsoft.mitsubishi&hl=en
Following I have included some photos so that everyone can see how it all works.
OBD LINK MX in OBD socket just above left foot. The advantage of this unit is that it does turn off after about 10 mins so as not to flatten your battery.
I then bought the RAM Tablet Holder from the US and mounted it under the passenger seat. Plenty of room and even the wife is happy.
Now the tablet is within easy reach and can be viewed without taking my eyes of the road.
Once the vehicle is started then activate the app on your tablet or else you will learn the same faults as Macster and I did. From this main menu you can select what you would like to do.
Once you have completed your setup you can then set up a multitude of screen, dials gauges etc.
The added bonus is that it also has the ability to record your trip speed, location and plenty of other data all-viewable on Google.
Then when you get a fault code, you can look the code up on your fault app and make a decision if this is a code you should clear or seek further assistance. A must with modern 4WDs’ in the outback.
I hope this will give some people a little bit of an idea what this technology is capable of and what modern 4WD owners are in for in the year to come.
