[Bluetooth Module for Comms to Tablet?]

Hi Guys,

 

I’ve been toying with the idea of buying a windows tablet and running this in the space of the double DIN for a live dash. However, the connecting cables are either data or power.

I’ve read somewhere that you can actually connect a BT module to the ECU to talk to it, is that right? If so, how the heck do I do that?!

This way I would retain the usual charging hooked to ignition, then comms via the BT module.

Would this be a possible and ideal solution? I’d imaging the actual lag for comms would be pretty minimal.

Although good with spanners a plonker with electronics so would pass any steps onto my tuner…. If you could please help that would be really appreciated!

[Link G4+ Tablet view]

Hi All,

I've just had the Link G4+ p&p option installed on my 1994 Mr2 (non OBD) and have searched around for ages about displaying on a tablet but not been able to find any definitive answers!

The plan would be to have a digital interface to give realtime info using the the views available. I've downloaded the latest PCLink software but a self proclaimed idiot with software I'm struggling to....

a) Make a nice view (IAT, Boost, EGT, AFR the most important)

b ) work out if it's actually possible to mount in the car instead of a double DIN for display.

I've also concluded that a tablet micro USB can only do data OR charge - is that correct?

Thanks chaps!
